Does anyone make a stencil to repaint them? If not what are my options? Also what is the color of the background behind the glass supposed to be? I have the dark brown stickers for the guage faces.

If they can print new bezels or parking lights they can print decals.. but I bet someones selling something.
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

I repainted mine semi-gloss black. It shows up the numbers better than the brown and I think it looks better. If I had it to do over I'd paint the gauge faces black, the decals don't really have much on them since the numbers are on the glass.
