Home made warning lights

Post by Hoppy11 »

I had to make some warning lights, so I got a peice of clear perspex, got a sicker cut with the warning lights, stuck it to the back of the perspex, then stuck some translucent coloured sticker behind it, then glued the light holding buckets to the back of it all, srewed it all in, and they all light up. I now have to make a panel for the aircon controls, I thought about making it the same way, does anyone know if panel can be bought??

Hi Hoopy nice work on the panel, I take it you just took a rough image of what you wanted to a sicker shop and got them to stencil it up ?

Cheers mate

Yea pretty much, told them how big it had to be and what a i wanted, they just use the plotter cutter, could'nt go much smaller though.

I didnt have anywhere good to make apanel for my aircon controls, so I made a cardboard template, got a sheetmetal guy to bend it up and weld it, then covered it in vinyl. I then cut and drilled some 3mm clear perspex and got the sticker guys to mke some sticker for the back of the perspex to suit my aircon switches, then put some translusent red, blue and white siker on the back of it so the dash lights will show through. I then cut a bit outta the dash and it fits great, just thought i'd share that with you
