Ok, so I decided to pop my radio apart and paint it. The face of the stereo is going to be the same red as the trim around it. I cleared the function buttons and am painting them transparent blue (they will look black or dark blue during the day and shine blue at night). The icons and numbers will be silver. I am also painting the display cover blue so the display will shine blue and I'm apinting the display cover in the gauge cluster blue as well. I don't know how else to make the digital numbers anything other than red or this nasty green.

Thanks for the good luck wishes
But it seems when it comes to planning I'm a complete dumbass. The radio and hvac controls are out of the car and now they're saying its supposed to rain the rest of the week into the weekend. Every time I start a project I fail to check things out and get stuck like this. Oh well, at least I can put the numbers on inside the house.

^Nope, you're not alone. That's the story of my life. :P
I'll have to see how it dried when I get home. I might put up a pic if it's not too embarassing, lol.

^Ok, you win..
I've only done the buttons and the plastic piece, but the face will be metallic red. The electrical tape is only to hold the knobs and plastic piece in for these pics, and I accidentally set the buttons on the left in the opposite knobs, so they look funky. Everything's just kinda set in place right now.

 I think you should leave it like that, and not paint the face.... I'm diggin the cleared buttons all by themselves.
