Just got mine, very cool interesting how you routed down the excess from 1/8" to 1/16" in the areas that matter t make the material work. The neon red I ordered looks pink until you put it on then the VFD green turns it on. I never really thought about the fact your not working from a scratch white light but have to start colorizing from a teal green or aqua display light. Personally I wouldn't know how to make a green display look a particular color by applying a different color filter. There's the trick if the dispaly started out as a true white the task would be easy. Anytime you apply a color filter your decreasing the light output but if you do it right the filter can scatter the available light & brighten it, hence my faceplate (Neon Red) seems to brighten the display light somewhat from the naked display yet. Good work, Steve alright I want a Purple faceplate, anyone else like to see that color created? I hope. Any neon color I would suspect would brighten any display light available. A darker faceplate color would make the lights seems lighter because the darks or non-lit segmenbts are darker. OK I've had a few drinks writing this & I'm rambleing but the faceplate I just opened & installed on my EMPEG-car still kicks ass.
