I took the Gauge Cluster out and repainted it. I also took the woodgrain look off and installed a carbon fiber look to it. I got everything at auto zone.
Things I use:
Chrome spray paint
Black spray paint
600 grit sandpaper
Carbon Fiber vinyle sticker
Painted Gauge Cluster

Looks good. Are you rocking the No dash pad permanently?

Re: Painted Gauge Cluster
awesome idea. I was just thinking about repainting mine today, but never thought of the carbor fiber look. I think i might paint the FORD letters red though, not sure how that would look.

Re: Painted Gauge Cluster
What kind of carbon fiber material did you use? I just tried to copy your dash, and had the autozone sticker type carbor fiber. it is impossible to lay that stuff flat, it turned out horrible i had to scrap the whole idea.

I just use that one at autozone and was very careful with it and took my time.
