Painting Gauge Needles
I didn't know where else to post this so I'll just do it here. I have a 90 Integra and is swappin in a cluster gauge from a 93. Awhile back, I've seen somewhere on H-T that someone painted their needles to imitate the Spoon cluster gauge. So I was thinkin of either painting my needles red (gs-r) or yellow (type-r). Is there a certain type of paint or brand that anyone would recommend using on the needles?

use laquer thinner to take off the original paint on the needle then use two coats of Tamiya acrylic paint (X-8 lemon yellow), it comes in a little bottle you can get from a hobby store, paint it on with a little brush. It comes out really nice
