"Rust-oleum Fluorescent Red Orange (#1955) in a spray can.

Try and go as light as you can with the paint...use just enough to re-color
the needle and no more"

Iirc tigersunited also had an article on this which quoted a model paint
that many had used.

The reason for light coats is the weight will effect the accuracy of the
needle when moving.
