instrument gauge needle

[tcp710]

Does anyone one know a good way to restore your speedo and fuel, ammeter, temp gauge needles?

I was considering an orange crayola marker. Anyone have some better ideas?

Model car paint would work good.

Try a 50/50 blend of Testors flourescent orange and red model paint.

Thanks, I will see what I can come up with.

if you put thin paperboard(cereal box) or paper behind it, it helps to mask off your gauge. use the testors, not crayola. wont last.

Use a dryglow sharpie marker
it wont weight down the needle as much as paint will

Take them to Redline Gauges.

Good Luck

Once you get the ammeter needle looking good, bypass the guage so it doesn't cause you any electrical gremlin problems in the future.

On my last Dart, I bought some of that bright orange safety spray paint and sprayed a little pool of it into the cap; then I dabbed it on with a model paint brush. It actually came out really good; I was pretty proud of myself... :toothy7:
