Same as mine, bad eyes. Thanks!I don’t think I answered your question…
Old lamp arrived... could not resist installing right away. Installed one of those rubber LED light bulbs that look old school but are shock resistant...
I will remove to paint to match... but man! I like it!!
Paint on the motor housing/mount is not even dry and I am installing stuff on it ... I feel like a frigging little kid...

I ordered a new plate... The before photo is deceiving... you can't see anything under normal light... reason why I ordered a new one...

I went ahead and took the time to lightly sand, with 2000 sandpaper, the original one... Much better. I can definitely see it now clearly. So I can reuse if needed...

That is what I did minus painting.... the only painted area needing attention is the red one... but I will leave it alone... as mentioned, the enemy of good is better... not going to risk to mess it up...I can’t remember where I saw it, but I saw someone fix uo their data plate by spraying the whole thing with black paint and then sanding over the top to reveal the numbers in their brass colour. As the number are slightly raised they sand down without hitting the black paint underneath (Does that make sense?)

I’ve just re-read this thread and might have missed it, but did you say what the colour was? I may be wanting a new colour for my lathe I’m not sure I’m feeling the green I chose for my lathe.
