As far as paint goes, I used Testors orange paint (don't have the actual number but just pick the one of your liking) and a soft bristle brush.

Its also interesting that you started this thread, my car started having the same issues the other day, only its even more puzzling. The fuse was clearly blown but even after replacing it, everything else worked but only for 2 days, the fuse blew again. The rheostat has been bypassed for a few years now. I replaced the cluster with a donor cluster I pulled from another car and it to doesn't light up. Any ideas?
