<DIV>Think I told this story before.....a person I know worked in a factory run
by BF Goodrich Aerospace many yrs. ago. She soldered and assembled parts to
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 needle, but she
liked to put on 3 coats to make it look nice:-)</DIV>
<DIV> Someone reminded me that these gauges were most probably calibrated
after final assembly and testing. But it seems funny when we worry about putting
too much paint on our needles. These gauges, being used in the
aerospace industry, gauges that were assembled by workers who had to become
certified solderers (never knew that designation existed) , each worker having a
specific task in the assembly and these gauges having to cost 10's of
thousands of $ each, just got a few dabs of some kind of red paint<IMG

<DIV>Just make sure you don't put it on too thick. The extra weight of the
paint on the tach and speedo needles will affect the gauge calibration unless
you also go and tweak the counterweight location. </DIV>

<P dir=ltr>I tried several different paints and found Model Master
fluorescent red # FS28915 at a hobby store. It shades a little towards
orange and was a perfect match to the color on the unfaded parts of my
needles.</P>
