Gas Gauge Question
Hello,
I have my Gas Gauge out for a new Float and want to paint the levels on it. (they are hard to read in all chrome for these eyes). I can not find a photo anywhere, on how they looked when new. Any one know? Thank You. Patty |

Re: Gas Gauge Question
Here is a photo taken from page 6-5 of the RG&JS.
It says, "The numerals on the gauge quantrant were black, except in early 1928 when the '0' and 'F' were brick red and slightly larger than the other figures."

Re: Gas Gauge Question
The level readings are recessed so use Model airplane paint(black),Fuel resistant Not sure how the ethanol will react but it works on the carburetors exterior I use Aero-Gloss from Hobby shops.
