Ill show you at school next tues.
I've got the paint if you want to use it, just give it back when your done.
i tried this mod the other day and i totally jacked it up with the paint. did you use the translucent glass paint? i didnt get that translucent kind just glass paint. anyways it sucked. think im gonna try the vinyl this time and see how it looks.
So I attempted this mod knowing I sucked at painting. So after about 3 hours (took my time) and 4 attempts of making it smooth and even, it still doesnt look that great. I mean it looks fine but not like OEM. So I'm going to try a different way. I bought translucent model paint, and i'm going to try to spray an even coat of that on it. hopefully that looks better.

I have noticed, but i didnt no what to do to solve the problem. I was just going to try and put another coat over it when it gets warmer out. Good idea tho, ill try it

i just got done popping my ***** apart and painted those. i think they are gonna look good. all you gotta do is use a soap pads and scrub the green off comes off easy and then paint those. ill get some pics up as soon as it gets dry and back together. also instead of paint inside the gauges i used a those binders from staples and cut a template out and used that .
