Another option is transparent model car paint, such as from Testors.

I found these a little while ago, never got around to installing some 914 gauges on the bus, but when i do

Does anyone know if the stock transporter gauges use the same bulbs as the 914's?

Hi

Years ago I bought some stuff from a speed shop called bulb dye, it was available in a few colours, but it did slightly dim the bulb output, not good when your getting on in years. Some paints may blacken with continued use.

Well i got rid of the bulbs and instead placed some blue leds, and for the gauge needle i placed a red led above the speedo. ended up looking like this



Pic is blurry since it was taken a while ago with an old cell phone, and it really doesn't reflect the look. if you like it i could take a better pic.
