I was wondering if anyone out there has painted there own gauge needles and what paint and color did they find worked well? Thanks Bob

testors

I have bought some floresent orange paint at my local building supply and I spray some in a paint cap or something to hold some paint and use a tiny artist brush to apply it as long as you have a steady hand. Here is a gauge cluster that I am doing for a customer. I installed a volt gauge instead of the amp gauge and installed an oil pressure gauge where they was just a light. I painted the needles this morning with the floresent paint.

Go to your local hobby shop and buy testors floresent red in a tiny bottle. It goes along way and is cheap as chips

Yes, as stated the flourescent red is the closer match to original...Those needles faded terribly and throw off the color match...

Thanks for the info on the paint i will be going down to the store today and pick some up. Bob

Thats the paint that i got yesterday it worked great. Thanks for the help Bob
