Opinions welcome please!
Hey all, I'm smack dab in the middle of doing this mod....blackening out my FX instrument bezel and painting the little rings around the 4 small gauges, along with re-painting the tach and speedo gauge rings to match. I was gunna paint them silver like in the pics, but I had a thought of PTM them to the exterior color of my truck, the Dark Blue Pearl. It's a dark blue so I think it would look good against the black background, plus I think it would really accent the blue gauge lighting that I'm in the process of changing over from that hideous green. I think it'll be a subtle look and not too overpowering, but I'd really like to hear your thoughts. I've been looking at the US Speedo website lately and they have a new, blue anodized gauge face that looks pretty sweet, that's where I got the idea from for the blue rings. Let me know what you think....here's a couple pics of the blacked out bezel with the silver gauge rings.

I agree that the silver looks great as is. But in the name of modifying, please, paint those haha. There's nothing better than cheap mods that go a long way. I like the PTM idea. Is there a way to make the red part of the gauges white?

I think if you paint it dark blue it will get lost against the black background. I would keep it silver, if you do blue lights they will look better lighting up silver rings then dark blue. Just my opinion.
