White faced gauges, colored cluster needles?, Suggestions needed plz Options

[GrimReaper]

Hi there,

I just ordered a set of white faced gauges for my Celi but just remembered that our cluster needles are white too! Lol! So any suggestions about what can I do? Paint them? I've check on the internet for replacement needles and I didn't found anything (yet).

I also think about sticking a litle colored stripes over'em, but it's pretty tricky, since they are small enough.

If anybody have a link for replacement needles or any idea, plz let me know.

Thanx a lot guyz

Thick red sharpie works good too, just remember don't go back and forth with it but rather paint the whole needle in one swing from the middle to the tip.

BTW Griffy I am considering buying the exact gauges overlay for my car. How far is that shade of the blue on the picture from reality?

The real blue is actually much bluer than in the photo. It's not a cobalt blue though, it's more of a very deep blue with a tinge of greenish.

Here's a color-corrected version that shows the blue a little more closely to what it actually looks like. Of course the rest of the image looks like crap now, so just use this as a guideline for the blue. And remember that what you see on your monitor isn't necessarily what I see on mine; on mine, it matches pretty closely though.
