Re: white dials

lockwood are good quality, or you can scan the originals yourself and then modify them in paintshop and then print to plastic, cut out and fit in your car.

Re: white dials

If using an inkjet printer I wonder where you stand with the ink quality.
Id guess standard ink would fade in sun/ultra violet light and any mosture would wreck it too. Unless the plastic medium gets round those problems.

Re: white dials

in my experience inkjet printed dials last for years without fading or running. your instrument panel isn't a very sunny or damp place.

Thats True jug.

Ive seen chrome dial surrounds that looked good on ebay, but decided they where not for me.

Or print to photo paper - that might work.

Would photo paper be strong enough to support its self or would it start flopping over after a couple of days because they are held in by one or two screws dependiong on which dial you are doing.

Would a print shop print straight on to the dials

Re: white dials

Bravo/a dials are a single piece - about 40cm long that looks like a superhero mask. The original is only thin - think of a projector acetate sheet. The sort of thing that could be put through a printer.
