I'm wondering the same thing!

 

Polishing wheel with plastic compound. If you're careful, you dont' even need the plastic compound. Just some regular white or red will do.

 

I used a palm sander to take mine off it worked great.

 

Yeah I just hand sanded it...not sure what grits, bnut I did three stages. I used like an 80 first, to take off the grid pattern, then like a 250 to remove gouges from the 80, then like a 500 or 800, cant rmember. Then cleaned it and primer/paint. I recommend you get a paint to plastic promotor...basically a primer for plastic

 

hey flyin Low do you have any pictures of your gauges at night?
