Gauges/paint

Postby my79monza » Sat Feb 06, 2010 10:50 am

I have a set of gauges that the paint on the needles has faded, does anyone know where to get paint to bring them back to factory color?
either red? or white will work for me

I've used the small bottles of paint made for model cars. Slide a piece of paper behind the needle and use an artist's brush -- works great!
