I’m installing old school mechanical Sun Pro gauges in a 1968 Barracuda. I like the white faceplate color, but the night lighting is also white and pretty bright. Has anyone found a coating, or available colors for a GE 98 style bulb that might match the original dash light color in my car?
 
Hobby and craft stores carry glass paint, used in stained glass... Works on bulbs, too.
Some fingernail polishes work well, also- just stay away from the highly opaque shades.
 

If you still have a local Pep Boys, they have a silicon sleeve/cap to go over bulbs in the "custom" section. Where isle that used to have all the APC stuff
