does anyone make a/c panel decals to replace old stock ones?
i have been freshening up the interior and i got to the a/c panel and i noticed the stock decals for the temperature heat range the fan speed selection and the air position selectors were kinda old and dirty looking. Even trying to clean them they don't look as good as new ones would. So i was curious if anyone ever ran across a company that made replacement decals for this, maybe even in different colors or styles?

well i never found any replacement decals, but i did find a way to make mine look 500% better. I took the A/C panel off, removed the screws on the back, removed all the switches and circuit board. Then took a heat gun and heat up the area where the decals where and slowly pushed and worked them out being careful not to melt them.
Once the 3 decals (temp, fan speed selector, and Blower position) were out i used laquer thinner to clean the fronts of any residue. Then took 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sanded the fronts of each one, after that i took some clear coat in a spray can and went over them a couple times. Reinstalled, bolted it all up, looks good as new. *note the decals are mounted on a half circle clear plastic thingy, it should be obvious but leave them attached to this.
