you CAN change the color of your clock

WOW. Amazing. I really like the blue. GottaBe, do you still have that swatch book laying around? Maybe I could get a swatch or two off ya?
 
Thats pretty sweet. Where did you find these swatch books?

yeah, I want to have a few diff ones to pic from, I like the blue color, what did you use to make blue?

Green is a mix of blue/yellow, so what do you have to add to it to filter the yellow?
 
Umm i wanted the red and thought bout using thin plexiglass sheeting that they have at a architecture supply store i get my stuff at but i just havent done it all bc i really hate hotspots and dont wanna switch if that is the case.
 
you, sir are an innovator!

wanna send a red one my way? :hungry:

yeah i can send yall some of these, I'll have to go buy some stamps cause i have a feeling these may get pretty popular. I have a small strip left over from what i used ( i think it should be big enough) but i also have some other strips of a different tone of reds (darker, lighter) so just let me know which one you would prefer, in my experience with playing with these, the lighter the color the more yellowish it may look.

sure thing, just let me know what colors you would like it has everything from black to brown to purple to yellow, blue etc...

you know, I should of wrote down which ones did what, but im pretty sure it was just a dark blue that made it that way, or it was turquoise, ill be diving in there again soon, i want to fasten the swatch on there a little better but yeah and i can tell you exactly

The brown cover in front of the clock is what gives the OEM green the yellowish hue it aslo will alter the color a little on lighter colors, so the darker the color on the swatch the better the more solid the swatch color will stick out.

I haven't tested the clock in the light yet but from my first attempt with that purple thing it made it somewhat hard to see during the day.

yeah hotspots do suck, there is video i posted in the beguning of this thread where a guy used this reflective tape inside where the lights go, i think it still had light hot spots but nothing crazy.
 
this is a pretty neat trick.. What kind of material are these swatches? Might have to try it out. Good looking out for all of us :thumb3:
 
hey guys, pm me what colors you would like, im going to go over them again tonight and actually write down what does what.

Does $1 a swatch for a stamp and "getting me off my ass to mail them" sound good to everybody??

So the clock actually shows through the film in the daytime, its kind of hard to see but i cant even remember if it was that way when it was green??? you can still see it though.

I like the darker red- like the one you settled on:frog:
ok cool, i still have some left over from from the one i used, ill check to see if it covers the clock fully tonight and ill just send that over to you no charge if not, would you mind paypal me a dollar for a full one?

dah, i looked at it lastnight and i may be wrong but i believe its a polyester film. it's some pretty neat stuff
 
Hey guys! so i went out and tested these things again and actually wrote down what did what. I didn't take pictures because that would be a lot of pictures to take and honestly it would take too long so ill list all the colors you can get.

Once again the lighter colors may change once you put the clock trim back on due to its tint, however the darker colors work out pretty dang good
PM me what your interested and we'll make a deal

as for the colors this is what i got to work:

Cool White
Warm White
Yellow
Neon Yellow
Light green
Green
Leprechaun Green (very different from stock)
Dark Green
Turquoise
White Orange
Orange
Dark Orange
Light red
Salmon Red (actually kinda cool)
Peach
Red
Red Orange (what i have currently)
Dark Red
whitish pink
Pink
Cherry Pink (also kind of cool)
Majenta
Dark Majenta
Violet
Dark Violet
Purple
Dark Purple
Purple White
Dark Dark Blue
Dark Blue
Blue
Electric Blue
Aqua Blue
Light Blue
 
hey guys let me know what you think about this but im thinking if things keep going like this may run out of colors soon so i was thinking on cutting out pre-cut pieces to fit the clock that way i have more of the same color just in case things start selling like crazy,

however if you think thats a rip off for a $1 ill change my mind and send you the full swatch. let me know

PM me your orders and mailing address and ill send you guys my paypal email
i can get these out either on the same day or the next.

count me in for that electric blue and salmon red

ok cool, there is a dark salmon red and a regular which one would you prefer?

Count me in for cool white, aqua blue, and salmon red, if any left.

i do have more than one salmon, ill have to double check as for the dark salmon red but yeah just PM me your order and ill start working on these

Ill take on of the white ones, which one do you think will work better after the clock trim is back on?

You know i think i blue white should even it out a little bit, ill look at the list though. In my first attempt on page one with that plastic thing the purple just made it a solid white, and the cover over it turned it into a warm white
 
ok guys i decided to just send the full swatches cause i really dont want to take my clock out again and measure what i need to cut lol! i still have some good colors left, pretty much everything on the list still so PM me what you want

you know you want to ditch that ugly old fashion green clock.:gun4: haha let me know!

EDIT: so far i have Orders that will be sent tomorrow for:

4-Ripcord
LINY4Runner
michael833
Supertrooper4
