    I am redoing the ol 49 this winter and i thought i would be cool to paint the faces of my guages satin black then have someone paint the letters/numbers back on and adding a few unique touches here and there. Nothing to crazy. I want it to appear somewhat stock but have a tattoo or art deco feel. Anyone up to the task??? If so lets see your work.

    Thanks

    Tank, check out my work @ www.pinheadlounge.com/bman. If you paint over the numbers, how will you be able to tell where the new ones should be? Thats my only question. Other than that, I might be up to the task. I'll just have to come up with some ideas first, thats all.

    Could be very cool,could look like an explosion in a paint factory.

    I would suggest you get one guy to do all of them,
    then the overall style can be more easily controlled.

    Safariknut would be my choice.

    Or the guy in Finland that does the crazy panels.

    Thanks guys. I really want something simple. Something that looks stock to the uninformed and custom to the guys and gals that know better.

    I have a complete set of extra faces to look at while doing the new ones.
