Some of you may be way ahead of me, but I am rebuilding/beautifying my gauges myself as they all work well, so I had the issue of painting the needle the correct Series V color. I spoke to many who said to use upside down red paint, but I could not find the correct color to match (two cans later 
). So I goggled "Red Fluorescent Gauge Needle Paint" and found a site called www.HiPoParts.com. They had many shades available red (with a little orange added = Ford), red/orange (GM or maybe you have to mix it yourself), orange (Chrysler) and the Red looked the closest to My Series V original needle color that had not faded --- in fact it was a perfect match (according to my wife that has more color cones in her eyes as all woman do -- so she tells me). It took two coats and I am major happy . The code number was HP-FLRED-01 and it comes in a tiny bottle that will do about 5 cars. The paint looks almost pink when wet and in the bottle, but when dry it is definitely red red/orange and to me it matched the un-faded portion of my needle --- plus it was like $6.95 including shipping. Hope that helps someone Russ
