Re: gauge needles?
I went to the local hobby shop and bought a small bottle of testors chevy orange or red paint and the smallest brush I could find...
http://www.testors.com/products/137014 or http://www.testors.com/products/136975 Works great! |

Re: gauge needles?
model paint and a small brush works really good and cheap.

Re: gauge needles?
cut a slit in a piece of paper to cover everything but the needle, and use a small can of model spray paint
