I painted the needles a old W123 clock and speedo that didn't work and it came out looking great. So next weekend i'll pull out my cluster and paint the tach,speedo, fuel/oil/temp.

When I paint the speedo will it damage the speedo to tape the needle up so it isn't touching the stop pin while I paint it? Thanks

BTW, Krylon orange OSHA paint matches perfect. I'll post some pics next weekend.
