      I am curious, does the instrument dimmer still operate as normalwith the LED replacements?

        Ash. I will take a couple of pics tomorrow and post them. Aus911. The dimmer does still operate but not as much - probably only a 20% reduction in the brightness of the LED's.

            Ash,

            photos of my resprayed dash area around dials (+ dials painted as well) - all in Wurth satin black.

            With all dials out, and the rest of the dash area taped up & covered, I simply rubbed existing metal area around dials the with steel wool (there was no rust or other issues), and then applied 3/4 light coats 2 hours apart.

                I didn't even know there is a dimmer!

                Will investigate further.

                Cheers
