Painting Gauge Needles
Is this Acrylic Paint a good choice for painting my gauge needles for both visibility and longevity ?
The paint linked to is 4-ounces for $14; most I find is half-an-ounce for nearly $10.
I would not have thought finding Flourescent Red would be so nigh impossible.
If Testors makes it (Enamel) they have it well hidden.
If Flourescent Red can be found, is nail polish a good choice ?
Thanks.

I used the very small quantity for a high price stuff. Goes on good. Covers well. Looks great.
You only need a few drops to do all your gauges and transmission indicator.
After I painted my truck I gave the rest to someone here since I knew the leftover would eventually dry up in the bottle.

Info and photos of needle painting in above link.
I use HP-FLRED pointer paint from HiPo Parts for the factory look.
or
Testors Model Master Fluorescent Red FS28915 for the 'aged' look.
Both come in small bottles
