Default does anybody here have a prosport 52mm boost gauge they wanna sell?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/137181/dsc01375.jpg"></center><p>I bought mine a while back and yesterday I glanced at it and I didnt like the outside
trim which is silver, so me being stupid tried to paint the outside and I guess when
I taped it I left a small openening where paint got into the screen, so when
I took the tape out there was paint all
over the screen so tried to remove it
with paint remover and messed the
plastic up look @ the pic....so I don't
want to buy the whole kit again, I thought
that some1 here may want to get rid of theirs and buy the new AWE instead, so let me know. Thank you.

Pry the face off and use plexiglass...if you're crafty it'll look fine.

Since you have nothing to lose at this point, I'd recommend wet sanding and polishing.

Default We are actually working on an account with them. I would be happy to help...

if you want to send me a message. The digital style is new and fresh and the power off when the car is off is a great feature as well.

Default Well... It's kind of hard to diagnose a fix since...

your picture absolutely blows... ;-)

What exactly did you do to the face? As Casa says, you could try wet sanding.. if it just a scratch or smudge a blast of crystal lacquer might remedy it, or, pop the face off and replace it.. You can by clear plexi at Home Depot, and if you want a nice smoked finish, try a shot or two of VHT Night Shade...

All of these fixes, collectively, are a fraction of what a new gauge will cost..
