Hi

New to this forum today smile.gif I have just got some Reverse glow gauges and in need of changing the colour of the needles, dont think the stock green matches the red and blue of the glow gauges.

If I take the green rubbers of the bulbs so that the needles glow white, would painting the top of the needles with red translucent paint work ok to make them light up red?

Cheers

I'll take a pic of mine and post it too so you can see what they look like painted red with the transparent glass paint. I used a Q-tip and non-acetone nail polish remover to get the white off my needles, so the light would shine through better.
