painted VT dash fashia

[Longman]

Wow, talk about getting off track! Back to the painted dash - did you do anything to assist the paint adhering to the surface? maybe sand it first or use some of that sticky stuff to help the paint? It would look terrible if the paint were to start flaking off after a bit, but I wouldn't mind painting mine the same colour as the car.

Sorry Longman, just to update, got quotes from Holden, $15 each globe(x3) for lcd area and $10 each (x3) for the area around temp.

I am planning on changing every green globe in the interior of my VT to blue globes

How many globes would i need to do this? Cluster, climate control, trip computer switch, foot wells, anywhere else i am missing.

What size are the globes that i need?

Where can i get them?

Any help would be great for me and others thinking about this.

don't waste your money with globes. Go LED's, they won't break/blow as easy as the globes and are more brighter. Look up "blue LED dash conversion" (by 'Spyder' i think) for a comprehensive guide on how to do the job and how much it will cost you.
I'll start you off by saying that some electronics stores whom i can't name in this forum sell LED's and the resistors needed for the job.

I wouldn't have a clue on how to do the LED conversion and i'm not looking to spend too much money on it either. If anyone can help me with these questions it would be great.

Her's a picture of the globes, the one on the left is missing it's green cover. They are 2 different sizes.

What size are the globes? Where can i get them cheap?
