Gauge needle paint
What do you guys use to repaint/restore instrument gauge needles?
Speedometer, fuel, oil pressure, temp. etc. Is there a known modeling paint brand/color that matches original bright orange/pink color? 1964 C10 Thanks, Fredthecat |

I bought a bottle a few months ago when I was going to redo my cluster. Well, I ended up buying a new cluster. Send me your mailing address, and i'll send you the bottle. All you have to do is do a favor for someone else down the road. Layne |
