Gauge/Bezel lettering

[onethumb]

For the 90-93 cars with the orange lettering, does anyone know the name of the color used? Better yet, the Pantone?

I've seen people paint the bezels when they eventually get worn, but the issue is that you either have to mask the letters (which looks terrible) or paint over them completely.

I'm attempting to restore the plastic trim on mine, and I want to re-apply the lettering and symbols in the appropriate areas. I called my contacts at the design center, but the stencils and paint codes are lost to time--no one that I knew could find anything.

I don't have a Pantone book handy, or I'd do it myself, but I was wondering if anyone here might know....

TIA!

I don't know if this will help, but years ago when I put the auto transmission
in my car ( 2004). I had to cut the radio bezel to fit the B&M shifter and I did
not want to cut the original one. So I got a radio bezel from a stock 1990
corvette and took my ZR-1 radio bezel to a print shop and they made decals
as shown below.

Would love to find a way to do lettering so we could use base C4 radio panel.

Thanks, everyone who sees that really like it. My export mirrors have a decal
that says "objects in mirror are about to disappear". Had those decals made
about 2004 when the auto was installed. Gotta have some fun!
