Jim,
I've done a bit of tach restoration and have found that Model Master's Turquoise
#2965 is a pretty good match to the OEM blue. You can get Model Master paints
at most any hobby store. The original tach was painted white inside with a
90-degree segment of blue at the top. I paint the whole inside of the case with
white primer and then overlay the blue. In the OEM tach, the light is at top
center which puts it in the center of the 90-degree segment. Don't know where
the light is in your Cobra tach.

Subject: [Tigers] Auto Meter Cobra tach
Hello,
Just received my Auto Meter Cobra tach yesterday. Upon inspection, I
noticed that the inside of the casing is white. Seems I remember Duke saying
that he painted his blue like the stock one.
Anybody know what "color" and type pint I should use to duplicate the look
of the old tach? Already have Paul Bruhan's redone faceplate.
Thanks in advance,
Jim Armstrong
