What is the trick to removing the fuel gauge (flush mount) without messing up the paint?

Unhappy flush mount gauges
I too have gone through two hd flush mounts look great but have the same problem with missing leds. Has anyone had success with fixing them. Does anyone know if anyone repairs them?

all three sets are blue LED and the red low fuel light LED comes on.
+200 on that!

They do look better on my bike for filling the holes than the stock ones did... even though the lights don't all work, they read the fuel level wrong, and you get to put your pop up gas cap back together on occasion... grrrrrr.... POS, POS, POS...

Default flush mount
I had mine installed by the dealer at delivery so the 2 year warranty is still. I have not had any problems to date. installed 9/2009.

Gloss Black, flush mount on a 2010 Fatboy Lo. Apparently the 2 generation are much better according to the Tech I talked to today.
