When I did mine, I cut out a piece of clear plastic the same size as the green one and painted it red with model paint. A light coat will be fine. ------------------ Rob Rice robr54@hotmail.com http://home.attbi.com/~racrrob clash69 Jan 4th, 02, 06:17 PM A good elec supply house sould have some of that red plastic stuff its called plastic mask its used to do the same thing in elec trade (change lighting effects) gheatly Jan 9th, 02, 07:10 AM Rob, I am currently working on my '69 dash and I agree with freestyle - the numbers and markings on the gauges have a definite green tint to them. You can't change the color during the day, but like the others said, you can change the look at night by changing the color of the plastic film in front of the bulbs.
