I can see the dash at nite.

[grs]

I painted the inside of my dash white. Someone posted the article on how to do it. So I did it, and it worked. I took the gauges out , and painted the area that was a light green color white. Drove it the other nite, and it is really bright. Don't buy those bright bulbs. I used self etching primer first. Painted it with a brush. Be careful don't paint the bulbs.

I done this and added some ridiculously bright smd led bulbs, safe to say i can see the gauges well enough now.

I used Sem self ecthing primer. I bought it at an auto paint store. It is in a can so I sprayed some in a small container then brushed it on. I then used Rust-o-Leum gloss white. You will need some small artist brushes. Put plastic on the floor. You may drop the can, or the brush.

I used a chrome paint inside the cluster and on the back side of the gauge cover. It turned out much better than stock.

Here it is with the stock light bulbs......
