Thanks, I figured it didn't look right.I already have a bottle of the Model Masters Flourescent Red # 1775 and some thinner, my plan is to use several light coats with my airbrush. I wish there was a way to paint the speedo red line without messing it up, I will probably just leave it alone I guess.Any thoughts on the placement of the lens retainers? Correct?
You gotta sip the coffee that day !Seriously, you must have a steady hand, I am afraid I would mess it up.
I've always slipped a thin strip of light cardboard behind the needle to mask off the face of the gauge and take up the space between the needle and the face (to reduce the chance of bending or reshaping the needle) Then with a light hand drag the paint or ink from the center to the tip Worked for me
Any recommendations on how to deal with the speedo line?
Also regarding painting the needles. Would it be best to spray them with an airbrush?

I finally took the cluster out to replace the cloudy blue diffusers. The PO must have painted the needles at some point. It looks like the original color was much more orange than red. What colors have others used? How about this from NPD?https://www.npdlink.com/store/products/paint_gauge_needle_red_orange-145903-100.htmlAlso, the rubber grommets on the cardboard tubes are badly deteriorated. Are these reproduced? Or should I just make my own?Thanks!

Thanks guys...another question. I have a broken fastener that is not retaineing anything. It's a plastic push-in fastener. Hopefully the picture illustrates, but what is supposed to be there?
