NeoFuture Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) the dash dials were metal monkey dials in stainless finish this is how i did them Parts Required 1) 180 grit wet and dry 2) Blue Permenant Marker 3) White Primer 4) Tipex 5) Tin Foil 6) 3 x larger LED`s to replace dash lights (Hecker can confirm where to get these) 7) 1 x smaller LED to replace the small dash light behind the fuel gauge (again from Heckler) 8) Bluetac (used to keep stuff in place when you spray it, light components have a tendency to get blown away with the spray) LED`s 1) Get the LED`s from Heckler as part of my dash upgrade 2) Filed down tops of LED`s and glued a small amount of tin foil to the end with none flamable clear glue (superglue) this removes pretty much most of the "light points" and defuses the LED`s a little Dial Covers 1) Rub down the dials to give a surface for the primer to attach too 2) Clean with cellulose thinners 3) Spray with white primer 4) I ordered new backings from metal monkey, but they are easy to make. Needles 1) Disassemble needles 2) Rub down caps and clean with thinners 3) Spray with primer 4) Rub down needle to remove pink from surface 5) Use permenant blue marker on the surface of the needle and tipex on the back to reflect ligfht 6) Put needles back together This is with the lights on, or how they will look in place when the lights are on http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v3760/19/41/611960534/n611960534_3042523_5293159.jpg http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v3760/19/41/611960534/n611960534_3041699_8122932.jpg Edited May 14, 2009 by NeoFuture (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
