gauges

I took off my gauges to clean them. The needles are kinda a dull orange. I was wondering if there was a way to take them off to paint them. Anyone know how?
Should I just yank them off? Are they glued on?

Don't take them off- just slit a piece of paper and slide it over the needle...paint with orange paint (I used floresent krylon orange) then when it dries just take the paper off. Real easy!

I couldn't agree more with what Diane said. I've tried removing needles....Hasn't worked yet
