changing the color of the gauge needles

[acdc1287]

i want to make my needles gold to go alone with the new blue gauge faces. i cant find gold painted needles anywhere. could i just paint them???

yes, but they wont glow anymore.

you could try to not paint the back of the needle and then leave a real think line on the top centered edge (they are triangle shaped) and then you should be able to see them at night..

You know, you might try painting most of the needle. Leave a half inch unpainted so it lights up. Pics when you are done!

Or go over the needle with a felt pen. You should still be able to see it light up through it.
