That looks great. i am going to do red and white.

do you have any directions as to what needs to be soldered? I am new to this but I want to try by myself. Thanks for anything you can help with.

Wow, 2beturboed, you're pretty brave. I'm scared to solder, as I don't know the first thing about it. That, and I don't know jack about wiring and whatnot.

you need to clip the melts on the back of the needles and dig that orange out of the needles. They will look much better.

What do you mean melt the back to get the orange out? Can you not get all the orange off with only acetone? Also, where did you get your paint for painting the needles and did you only paint the back side?
