synistershadows Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 well the title says it all would it be possible to change the color of the guages on a UB3? i was hopeing to turn them a nice rich blue if possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 you could add tint to them to change the color. PM stockGP, he tinted one red, and might have access to a good tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I think that cluster is all special VFD display or something, so you won't be able to change any bulbs per say..tinting would be the only option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Tinting is the way to go. PM StockGP (Dan). He has or had at one point access to different types of colored film. I was going the same route as you when I had intended on this swap. Dan got back to me long after I decided to scrap the project with a new find which would be totally awesome on the UB3 Panels.

slick Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hmm... i'd be interested in some colored films as well for some different projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 You can tint it, but as I've learned from experience, it's a bad idea. If it's dark enough to change the color, it's too dark to see during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 i have to disagree. when i tinted mine red, i had no trouble ata ll seeing it in the daytime. synistershadows, i have access to red and blue film. other than that, i know of orange, green and yellow. depending on what color you want, you're going to be limited in your options. the lithograph film i have is very low dispersion and low diffusion. however, i think that if you try to combine colors to get the color change you are after, it will be too dark to see. i'm going to try to combine red and blue to get purple, but i odn't know that it will work.

stockgp Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 so, it's not blue enough as it is? i can send you a piece big enough to color the lens on the ub3. i think you may have to take off the factory blue filter, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
