by any chance is any of you guys that mentioned the paint, are you planning on doing this anytime soon. im going to have to check at work, part of my employer remanufactures automotive guages, i'll have to see what i can get ahold of and i'll get back to you, maybe if you need new needles i can hook you guys up
EDIT: has anyone actually tried to use food coloring, i know someone was talking about using it to color their needles.
