Painting gauges

[Mixalz]

I've just started building an AMT '72 Corvette Stingray. The gauges are moulded into the styrene. Any advice on how to paint these? 

I'm used to decals  

Cheers,

I usually paint the gauges silver then use a black wash to bring out the raised details.

Here's a little more detailed description of the method I usually use in one of my other posts: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/114936-revell-1960-chevy-september-21-update/?page=1

I painted this dash black then flattened (blunted) the end of a toothpick and rubbed the paint off the raised detail.

Old aircraft builder trick, paint gauge black then use prismacolor white and red pencils to highlight details

There is a discussion on another thread right now about "Best Model Car Parts".

He carries the decals.
