Sweet! Wonder if this'll work for us. I would assume so, but I don't know how the gauges are lit, etc. I know one person who could tell us, but I don't know if Brad would want to say . . . wink

Very cool. Anyone read what kind of paper they're printing on? I know our lights are a little dim shining through regular printer paper and wouldn't shine much for the glow color... Hummmmmmmmmm

I bet you could do the glow color on an overhead transparency. The kind made for printers, of course.

Tried that... they like to shrink and bubble in the summer sun...

Yeah, makes sense about the overhead. Those things suck when under a lot of heat. The ink starts to run also... Brad, didn't mean to take business from you :rolleyes: I'm really sorry. I sut stumbles accross that and thought people with not enough money could do that. Just letting you know, I have your gauges and HVAC in my car!! I support you 100% laugh
But again, I hope this didn't cause any problems..

Might want to try the overheads made to run through photocopy machines. Much more heat resistant. Once put a regular transparency through a copier and it melted. Almost killed the machine. Just a thought if you hadn't tried already.
