W126 Instrument Cluster paint Finished
Anyone want to see how dose a W126 instrument cluster painted with Fluorescent Orange... See pic, anyways i taken out each piece out from the back easier than taking the plastic cover from the front and painting it form the front is a mess... I use small pieces of paper, placed it under each needle and painted, 4 coats and Hair dry after 20 Min's... I ll do a night shot to see how good it is...
 Info Color: Fluorescent Orange Brush sizes 1, and 0 -(touch up brush) Hair Dryer for faster drying And 4 Hours of my time (> if you want sloppy work)

A cheap brand at wal-mart called Folkart Neons(Neon Type paint) on the right As a base (or primer) color and an Expansive one at hobby lobby called Createx Airbrush Colors (Fluorescent Type paint) on the left used as a final layer of paint, now i can really see my needles in the dark... I tired to take a picture with the dash light on but it's too dark and cant see anything with the camera...

Your instrument cluster looks great and after your thread, and walking out to my yellow needles yesterday, it is time to tackle this myself......
