Sounds like alot of good advice here but I'll throw in my knowledge on the subject too. I used the sticky backed gauge resurfacing decals on my truck about 28 years ago and they were easy to apply without water. They still look beautiful today. I see the value though in using a little moisture

I bought a gauge refacing kit for my '53 3100. The material appears to be self-adhesive stickers but the instructions say to wet them and to wet the gauge plates before installing over sanded, repainted surfaces. Anybody used these with good results? With or without moisture? Thanks

Mike, not to change the subject, but you mentioned tailgate letter stickers. Do those peel off on the back like a regular sticker? I have thought about trying to do that to my 3100 but didn't like the idea of having only one chance to get them straight. If water works and you can slide
