I Want To Paint The Guage Needles, What Paint?
« on: May 21, 2012, 11:31:08 AM »
I would like to restore the five guage needles in my '65, and would like to know what paint to use.
Thank you!

HipoParts.com supplies that paint.   We offered a 10% discount here back in January - but didn't think of the paint !
