I did get burned by painting the oil gauge needle on my car. I put the paint on without adequately thinning it, and although it turned out well it went on a bit thick. Testors paint takes quite a long time to completely dry, and my oil pressure gauge would stick to the "0" pin until I hit that first bump in the road, for an entire summer, after which it finally dried. Seeing "0" on the oil pressure gauge while driving is unpleasant, I assure you.
