Saw the tech tip post that posted a pdf and jpg for a label for a volt meter. I was wondering if anyone had the file(s) for the other gauges as well? I actually already bought the label set from classic parts but having a tough time getting the volt meter label to match exactly. If I could just print them all at once then they would match.

Did you happen to find a matching paint for the internal bezel piece where it says Gasoline, Battery, Oil Press, Temperature?

Where did you get the labels to put back on after you painted it?

I had a new gauge for fuel and temp, used a decal for oil and the print out from the tech tip for the voltmeter. The colours were all slightly different. But once the gauges were installed with the dash lights on or off, it's hard to see any differences. Not an issue for me as I won't be putting my truck in a concourse competition. My bezels were in good shape so I didn't have to worry about refinishing them.
It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
