challenge
High end aluminum speedometer using backlit graphics
solution
Northern Engraving introduced the ability to combine the decorative quality of aluminum with the functional deadfront and backlit properties of polycarbonate. Our expertise in decorating aluminum and polycarbonate substrates creates a premium look. The aluminum on this speedometer is spun so that highlights radiate from the center of the metal dial. Major gradations are highlighted with embossed details. The look is carried across a series of gauge faces. |
