Mike: All my gauges have that haze and this has happened now with both my Tigers and several Alpines I've owned through the years. I think it probably is from something that leeches out of the red pa

Hi Steve What is the paint that you are using on the pointers? Is it a solvent based or water based paint? Although I have not had to clean the gauge lenses nor redo the needle paint I was wondering

Hello Larry: It's been about five years since the last clean up/needle paint but I'm pretty sure it's Krylon SCB-022 Glow Orange. I think that Margaret at Mo-Ma had told me about the color and brand

I'll be going through the same thing soon. I'm thinking that perhaps a sealant over the paint may be one thing that's needed for the needles -- that stuff most definitely outgasses. That perhaps foll
