Gauge Face Restoration Question

[mwl1967@xxxx]

Greetings everyone,

Can someone tell me how to match the 
color / finish on the gauge faces. I took the speedo to a local paint supplier 
who looked at it... thought it may have been an anodized finish but wasnt sure. 
I took it home and tested a spot on a bad gauge with some laquer thinner and 
it removed the greenish hue down to bare metal. Doesnt look like there was 
any primer applied. 

Was this a translucent paint? Laquer? 
Im told that the scan tool they use to try to match paint wont work on this. 
Any suggestions as to where to get them done or how best to match the finish 
is appreciated. Oh... working on a K ( think these had a lighter color than 
the J ) .. am unfamiliar with other years.

Thanks
Mike Laiserin
