I was synching the carbs, figured while I had everything peeled apart I may as well hit them with some carb cleaner then blow them dry with some forced air. Did that, went out for a bite to eat, come home and the damn carb cleaner had spattered onto my gauge cluster and plastic "dash" around the cluster, bleaching little dots all over the black plastic on both (GAH!).
I am furious at myself. I really should have been more careful. But anyways, I've already taken the whole assembly off and removed the guage cluster, has anybody here had a sun-bleached dash that they've spray-canned before? what color did you usually use? I've got some ultra-flat black here and matte-clear that seems to give a nice dull finish, I'm going to test it out on an old 'dash' that I have lying around, just wanted to give you guys a crack at it too. Think it's worth the effort or am I just SOL and in need of a new 'dash'?
