Can't wait to see what the LED's look like all lit up.  You are doing a great job on the restore.

Would you care to share exactly what LED's you have in the green banana shaped inserts?  I cleaned mine up at the end of last year and one of the last things I would like to do is reduce the heat under those inserts but I need to know what damn LED's!  There are so many of them available now.

A couple more questions about the gun handle, what paint did you use and did you then clear over it or will the paint be able to handle the wear?

Thanks in advance for any answers you could provide.

LEDS ... i use all wide angle leds from cointaker..... In the kidney shaped inserts i have bright/cool white #555's and white flashers...

I opted to go white because they do not make an led this colour... It actually lights up nicely..

RE gun handle i used this stuff... http://www.vhtpaint.com/barrelpaint.html... awesome paint... I pinched a can from my bro in law so i don't know what its worth...

I then cleared it with Krylon triple thick. 3 coats...

     
LOL!

Hmm, I wonder if is a certain Melbourne spare parts and machine seller located in a suburb about 28km east of the CBD??

Well i did go to that particular site and everything ( well most led globes in a higher quantity of 5)  was out of stock... i then see a bundle pack of 21 leds boasting different colours and styles for $17.50... 

Well each individual led globe sells for 70 cents..... you work it out ! 

I will have to plead the 5th amendment on this one.         

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do Brett ! This is why i say 'never say never' !
