I redid the 914 speedo and tach that I have in my bug. In my case the glass just needed a simple cleaning, the needles repainted, and the bezels needed repainting. Once the bezels were removed (via the small screwdiver method), I stripped them (including the outer rings and inner rings of the bezels) down to bare metal. I then primed them and painted them in a satin black. Once the entire gauge (face, glass, needle,etc) was cleaned/refurbished, I reinstalled the bezels and folded the edge back over. I then masked off the glass and the gauge housing and shot another coat of satin black. Cheers!
