Has anyone ever painted their stock gauge needles?

I want to keep the stock cluster and look but paint the white needles red (like the Si's). I want red, preferably as bright and reflective as possible (for high visibility). And tips?

I'm afraid of damaging the needles, and the paint being too heavy after the coat is on.

 

use a red sharpie

 

those needles are weight sensitive.. so odds are they're going to be wrong if you paint them.. the sharpie idea however isnt bad.

 

:werd: works wonders

 

Great idea!

Has anyone actually done this? I don't want to do this if it's going to look streaky.

 

Ox has red needles. Ask him...

 

Becareful. They are carefully calibrated. Slight mishap can cause your needles to not work properly.

 

Who is Ox?
