The gauges I have I bought off of ebay from the seller in the first post. I looked at all his gauge faces and the only set that looked to be correct for my 84- 944 was the 924 set. I even have the faces for the clock and oil pressure gauge with the set but haven't installed them yet.
When I got the faces, I knew that those old yellow needles had to go. I just went to the store, matched the orange on the face plate and bought some good spray paint. I wiped the needles down real good with lacquer thinner and put on a thin coat of paint.
Since I had the gauges out and I hated that silver color they put on the benzel, I wanted to do something with it and the dash kits were so much jingle- $200- $400 for basicly stickers. So I went out and bought this Textured paint, called: American Accents stone creations, by Rust oleum for $5. went home lightly sanded the benzel, wiped clean with lacquer thinner, taped the black areas off and painted. I think it came out ok- for $5 and a little time.
