Gauge needle paint

[Dino]

I damaged one of the needles calibrating my gauges so I might as well paint all of them.  I was thinking of using some flat white airbrush paint.  I'll be able to keep the finish real thin...but a spray can would be a bit easier right now.  Any recommendations on what to use?

Yes I was thinking the same thing Dino, I would go with the airbrush , much more control on flow coverage etc
Have done that in the past, but the one that I did with floresent orange paint sticks out, instantly you know where needle is pointing,
Are you making it look stock or is change an option , I'm in the middle of doing your volts gauge upgrade and thinking about doing them to stand out,
Maybe floresent green to look more factory,

I'm keeping the look stock as far as the gauges go.  If I would go another route then it would probably have to be the fluorescent type like the 1st gens.
