Good job!
I bought a cheap oil painting set from Walmart and mixed the red and yellow to get something close to that color. I was shooting for Crimson Orange.
I mixed on a sandwich sized zip-lock bag turned inside out then flipped the bag back to the original orientation and pressed the air out after the paint job. Two days later I applied the second coat. I still have enough in the freezer to do the 380SE when I put gears in its odometer.
I put paper between the needles and dial face because I used a 1/4" brush. I found the brush fans out better than the smaller ones. With the brush fanned out I could cut in closer to the black centers the needles protrude from. I also moved the oil pressure needle away from its stop and taped it down to keep the paint from sticking the needle to the stop.
I know, I need a girlfriend or something.
