    I want to put orange bulbs behind these gauges and have it shine through orange, but am afaid they might be blue or green at night. What do yall think?

    Northface SS Type gauges

    If you know where they might be cheaper, let me know

    Thanks,

    You could always paint the white panel with a candy orange and it will all be orange and all the numbers will show through if the paint doesn't desolve them. Spray the first couple coats very light from about 12-18" away so it's almost dry by the time it hits the panel.

    I've painted the gauge faces with candies before. They'll be orange all the time that way. Candies are translucent and you'll see everything under the paint unless it was already orange.
