Re: Gauge cluster needle paint!
I restored my 65 cluster using this awesome thread as a guide. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=559922
I bought the same fluorescent red paint used in this thread from Hobby Lobby. They are local here in SC but probably available from other retailers. Show us pics of your results please. You can see my results in my BLOG - February archive section.

Re: Gauge cluster needle paint!
Find a hobby store that sells model car paint in small bottles, like Testors, Model Master, or similar. Florescent Red is a good match.
