I've got an old Saab VDO fuel gauge that I'd like to change the gauge face to a more Porsche looking face. Any ideas on how to make your own gauge face that doesnt look like crap after being exposed to sunlight etc?

They have a ton of color options and $20 seems hard to beat.

That's why I think someone like 914 rubber could have this done professionally for a lot less. |

Was keen till I saw the "colour tax" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) don't like white gauge faces to start with. |
