Hello all,
 
As I've refurbished about half my gauges (or had others do it), a couple of 
 them still have the original
paint on the needle.
 
May I please have suggestions on where I can obtain matching orange/red  
paint for the gauge needles?
 
Regards to all,

 gauges.  Her place in the assembly line was to solder a few parts, paint=

the needle and assemble her section of the gauge.  I asked what the needle=

paint was and she said she didn't know. It was just something in a little=

bottle  and had a brush. She said the other people put one coat on the nee=

but she  liked to put on 3 coats to make it look nice:-)
 Someone reminded me that these gauges were most probably calibrated  afte=

final assembly and testing. But it seems funny when we worry about putting=
