Has anyone ever tried to get the green off these?


i started on mine tonight, and it's now a worthless pile. tried gently scraping the green off, and ended up taking the black off as well, which takes the image away.

 

green off as in what?

i turned mine blue..is thats what your asking..

 

i want to turn these blue, but what you see on the front that is white, has green paint on the backside. when attempting to sand or scrape it off, it is taking the image off as well. tried sanding some and the platinum color comes off. can you post a pic of your evan?

 

if you open the back (push the pins and take the face off) there is a green filter inside, just pull it out and cut off the green.

Or thats how it was when i changed mine to blue

 

nope. had a clear filter on it. had a thick clear piece, and then a paper thin clear one. the green is actually on the back of the overlay.

 

did that to the A/C pieces..but on my truck it was clear and behind that was a green thin piece of plastic like green vinyl..i took that out..traced it on a piece of blue see through vinyl and swapped it out. Im out of town right now when I get back to Charleston ill take it off and show you a picture of it..

 

ok, this is probably gonna be kinda long.

here is what came out of the x sport cluster.







and after scraping/sanding:





and the ranger one i took apart:

 

hmmm -- ive got a sport trac one..i just remember covering the clear part with blue..and it working..ill have to see what i did it was a long time ago..but i remember on the ***** i sanded down the green and layed blue on that..worked great..

 

yeah, i sanded down one of the ***** and the green came right off. then realized the ***** from the ranger one (with the blue) and blue on the ***** already. I did try to shine one of the leds through the overlay and it appeared blue, but don't want any green. maybe a few extra leds will over power the green. i'm buying another panel and sending the screwed up over lay to a guy on rps to see if he can do something with it.

 

word -- lemme know what you figure out. I will look at my piece and see what I did and let you know..I havent sat in my truck since like August. So I kinda forgot..

 

you need to get it finished up!

 

extra strength nail polish remover and a q-tip but DO NOT get any on the black on the front! found that trick on a mazda mx6 forum and worked great on the 6!

 

there is no black on the front. i'm pretty sure the leds will be enough to over power the green. i'll find out this weekend hopefully.
