Hey, i was just wondering..how do you colour ur clock?? I was reading the how-to on the climate controll colour changing...I was wondering, do u just paint the clock face with that stainglass spray paint??/would that work?? Let me know cuz its gonna b my first project when i get my celi back

Last week i went out and picked up a can of that krylon stainglass spray paint. Im gonna do the climate controll things first, but i wanna know if i can use it on the clock aswell, if so then im gonna have to go out and buy another can.

hmmm i dunno about spray paint, all i have ever known is to bust out the stock plastic "window" of the clock & replace it w/ a piece of stage lighting gel (thin plastic film used to light up the stage) - it comes in every color u can imagine...i chose BLUE theres a how to on this site some where...

i used some scrap blue window tint for mine

i magic markered a set temporarily, then got a translucent blue report cover from officemax (or the similar) for under a dollar.. i put three or four layers to get a good color tint

you need to remove it from the console. then take it abaprt - it's held together with 4 small screws.

When you get the circuit board out, you'll notice that the inner side of the front piece of plastic has a curved 'amber' lens.

Remove this and superglue a piece of stage lighting gel over the hole just choose the colour you want.

ok..thats all good, but im askin..will this spray paint work???..mainly cuz i dont wanna go out and buy more stuff cuz im on a budget, plus i dunno where to even get stage lighting gel...

teehee...a stage lighting store The place I found in Portland is called Hollywood Lights. Im not sure if they have other locations...I still have some of my blue left if u would like a piece...

Im not sure about that spray u have! never seen it done

im duin my stuff red cuz red car, red and black seats, red dash inserts...i dunno..i guess ill have to be the ginnee pig for this whole thing..ill let u know if it works..lol

There's a thread hanging around that discussed how to change every interior light, including a how-to on the clock that was quite simple.
