HI Parriehunter,

Yup look me up, Delusionz has my number but just give a post on on 6G and i'll get to you.

PS I Got 3 sets of Gel Samples so no problem for you and you can even pick the exact shade of Blue or Red or PINK.... LOL


Sweet sounds like a plan.

Cheers will definitely have to have a mini meet.

I read somewhere that using a purple gel will give you a white clock... I must have used the wrong shade or purple or something! Lol. I got my light gel for $1 so I can't complain for the nice aqua blue I got. It's a step in the right direction. But has anybody achieved a white clock (actually white, not just kinda blue) with the gels? Or would I need to replace the whole clock? Because my step-momma just bought an '09 Camry with the white gauges and clock, and that's exactly what I want in my car. So I guess I'm desperate enough to buy a new clock if I have to, but I like those $1 light gels if anyone can give me the right color combination.

EDIT: Forgot to say the first time that I don't really think it's possible to do this, turn a green clock to white, since white is all colors and those gels filter colors out and remove them. But hey, if I can get close, I'll be happy smile.gif

I took a pink cup, cut it up, used two pieces, and it made my clock white. Which it was green. Now to other projects, lol.

^ That actually kind of makes sense, since green and red are opposites on the color wheel, if you had just the right pink it could feasibly cancel out most of the green.

So could a red color gel cancel the green too? I read somewhere that purple does the trick, but that just turned it a nice teal blue that everyone else has. I haven't picked up the other colors yet. I got that single purple gel for $1 rather than $6 for ever color. I'm cheap, I know biggrin.gif

The cup that I cut up, I think it's pink, but I could be color blind, lol. And as you can see, I put one piece on another so it made it darker. And then a picture of what my clock looks like. And maybe that is blue, but I think it looks more white.

That looks pretty white to me! I'm going to go to the dollar store and buy some plastic cups now biggrin.gif Nice job!

EDIT: I just went to town and bought a red light gel to replace the purple one I had in there. Worked beautifully! I now have a nice white clock with a blood red background. For only $1 and about ten minutes of work. Well worth it.
