The gauges turned out great. I messed up and broke my first speedo needle. Ebay had them for $25 so a quick bid and then second chance worked well. The aluminum vinyl doesn't allow too much light in but I don't drive at night that much. The needles were painted white and then dipped the tip in red. I think I am going to get the black surrounds painted when I get my fender and headlight bucket done. I am not that impressed with the spray can job.
Your build is looking great! Just an idea to pass on to you, I have the same clock faces on my Pegasus bike build and I also noticed there is very little light coming through especially with those old bulbs. What I did was get those flexible red 6" LED strips and curled them around under the clock face, you can buy different colors, White, Red or blue.
They are far more efficient, less battery drain, easy to install and nice and bright. If you want I can take a photo for you so you can see how bright they are with your aluminum faces.
Just a thought as I was a little disappointed in how dim mine were. Keep up the good work!
