Get some micro pens from Micheals great for detailing the faces on gauges come in different colors to

or you can make your own and use decals. a sliver sharpies work good and sliver map colors work good. and if you dont want to do that you can use a tooth pick and the color of paint you need. just a few ways.

Another option is to get images of the gauge faces and scale down to the appropriate size, print out on photo paper and then punch out the image with the appropriate sized hole punch. A dab of white glue and pop the gauge face in place. The sheen on the photo paper to me makes the gauge faces look quite realistic. This works very well for recessed details like gauges, not as good for surface details like radio faces.

Pretty much as described in Theo's post above...

It's a technique developed by Irvin Arter that utilizes dry brushing. Once you understand the process you can get good at it. I have a PDF I can email to anyone interested. Either PM me your email address or email my address I have listed below.
