Nice work.

I used a dupli-colour paint from crappy tire. Dark gray I think is the colour. I had Silver but it was too bright, then I went to Med gray and that was a tad too bright as well. I finally found this colour and it seems to fit in much better, you notice it but it won't jump out and assault your eyes. I'll get you the actual colour when I go home.

As for the LEDs yes I am going to be swapping them all out just like you did. I am going to fix the LCD ODO so it actually is bright at night and change the needles to red. I hope you took notes when you did yours :)

the paint looks good, probly better in person. it seems to look very close to the same as my radio bezel. mines painted a dark greyish silver (stock) and think that paint would match it pretty good.

Yeah I took pointers. I will be glad to help in anyway I can. You have my MSN now so feel free to chat anytime you want. The change is easier than you think. Just be paitient and have a steady hand. Oh and make sure your iron is hot. Let it warm up for at least 10 minutes.
