Bainford Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I’m looking for nicely printed decals for round gauges. There’s a lot of choices out there but many are disappointing. I’ve bought a couple different sheets off ebay over the years, but the printing is not as crisp as it should be. Who makes the nicest gauge face decals? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Payne Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I don’t know about decals, but there are a lot of nice gauges printed on clear acetate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Best Models produces sets for specific cars. They sell on eBay. I haven’t seen these in person, but should be top quality as their resin models are! Here’s some of their products on Scalemates: https://www.scalemates.com/brands/best-model-car-parts--10201 I print my own gauges. I find images on the Internet. EBay Motors is a good place to find nice images of gauge clusters for sale. Personally, I like my gauges on paper, which I glue with canopy cement.

89AKurt Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 You wanting generic gauges? I'll have to look up who makes these if you need the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Many thanks for the replies everyone. I'll check out those options. Kurt, those decals look great. They seem very cleanly printed. I'm looking for round gauges for 50s - 70s sports cars and race cars, especially Smith's gauges for British cars. Many of the gauges on that sheet look spot-on. If you could find who makes those, or where to buy, I would very much appreciate it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteski Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Those gauge face decals might have been from https://www.ebay.com/str/bestbalsakits although they currently don't have any listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
