GS gauge restoration

[gs750meagain]

Hey there, first post on the site. I'm trying to find someone who restores gauge housings(for my 78 GS750) to there origional luster. The gauges tend to fade over the years and the white trim in the middle as well as white lettering tends to ware off. Since that's what I'm looking at when on the bike, I'd like it to be perfect. Any help would be appreciated. I've searched the internet looking for anyone but no luck.
Thanks

You can bring back the black shine easily enough with silicon spray - 'Back to Black' 'Cockpit Shine' etc - all available at car accessory shops. Easy to do, just takes a bit of elbow grease. For the white lettering it's a case of a magnifying glass, a tiny paint brush and a steady hand.

I've never tried this but one guy here refilled the white lettering on his gauges by wiping the gauge faces with white paint and then skimming off the excess. Using acrylic paint might be a good idea here since it won't bit into the plastic - and make removing the extra difficult.

Thank you guys for the info on the gauges.

Another thing, you can get inside the gauge by carefully prying the lip on the front bezel until the bezel pulls free. The face plate on the gauge can be changed and there was even a guy here that was making custom gauge overlays (do a search for more info).

I'll be getting a signwriter to make me up a new gauge face by supplying him the old gauges to go from.
