Need some help, I need to paint the dashboard of my Bentley however it has two domed parts, see picture, they are clear how do I replicate this, at the moment the dash is sprayed aluminium if this helps. Seen others on the web seem to choose colors in my opinion are just awful but how do you paint something to look like glass ???

Put a blob of Clearfix or clear PVA on each dial.

Mark,
You could cut the domed portions off and replace with clear sprue formed to look like the domes.

Oh, sorry, you mean those two fuel filters? As Scottie said, replace them with clear sprue.

Just a thought as they are fuel filters, what do you think clear yellow paint would look over the silver. Might be a try it and hope.
