Testors make over!!!!

I pulled my dash out to fix my dash lights that were not working. I used the jumper wire method to fix them. So thought I might as well paint those faded needles(YELLOW) with some Testors Model Master Flouresent Red FS 28915 it is a santin finish. I also painted the silver buttons on the gauges flat black. GOD BLESS Matt (SD,CA)

How do they look at night?

I'd be really interested in knowing how the red shows up at night since these are directly lit instruments.
