I got the red and orange coming in, hopefully it comes out right either way I go, I will probably go red as you said it will fade and it will get a orange color after some time. Plus I am curious to see how good the red will glow under vivid blue led lighting.

Thats what I was wondering, when I saw the photo I am like wow that looks like just pure fire engine red paint.

I should be getting my paint in on wed so I will take my replacement panel apart and repaint the needles, then need to deside if I will have the speedo recalibrated to read correctly with a 2.75:1 rear end with 31" tires bringing it to almost a 2.50:1 ratio.
I also hope that all these gauges work and read right. Id hate to waste paint on gauges that might not work. But I hate to also pull the dash apart to test this assembly out only to have to put the old gauges back in till I get the LED bulbs in and the paint.
