If you paint it, you won't be able to see it when you put the gauge overlay on.

i woulda been more picky on the tape job, but im used to taping up trucks and semi trailers to paint at work, the stuff we do is brand new so we have to be picky
i like the white, i thought about doing mine but was kinda unsure of how it would turn out
i guess i have 2 extra clusters incase i dont like it

and in the original post it says im getting reverse glows

hence y i wasnt picky
