 Greetings all-------- 
In addition to my 500SEC and 560SEC, I also have a W113 280SL which is 
presently in the midst of restoration, and some customizing. In the course of the 
project, I will need to modify the gauges with some new markings. Basically, 
I'll incorporate the left-hand W108/W109 (250SE through 300SEL 6.3) 
multi-instrument dial (fuel/oil press./water temp) gauge and install FOUR gauges (oil temp, 
oil press, volts, and water temp) (using the "idiot" light area at the bottom 
of the dial for the fourth gauge). Some of the needles also will sweep the 
opposite direction. Altogether, I'll need to repaint the lines and numbers on 
the dials, the legends (water temp, etc.), and replace the non-MB needles with 
MB needles. 
My question: Is there an excellent source for custom painting of dials on 
automotive gauges? 
Thanks, all; any leads would be most appreciated.
