Cluster Needle Paint?

[Rendon LX-i]

What can i use to paint the needles to light up. I have the indiglow gauges i always hated that i couldnt see my needles. I asked david and he said to paint then with White nail polish and it should work. I DO have uv leds on top but the stock white on the needles dont light up for shit. ....

So waht im trying to say is I have UV leds on top and im looking for a paint or w/e so the UV can make that paint or w/e glow.

SI COPREDAY LOL

Just buy any "fluorescent paint". That means it will light up under UV light.

I bought some fluorescent orange Testors (plastic model) paint when I had my cluster apart last time. I don't have indiglo or LED's, but I like the orange much better than white.

Where you get it at bro.

[2ndGenGuy]

Testors you can get at any hobby shop. But you gotta pay to play dude!! You should know Mr Turbo!

Testors is pretty good stuff. Hobby Lobby (dunno if yall have those on the west coast) does NOT carry it.

That's what you need :p

[lostforawhile]

where do you get the UV leds? I saw some clear Uv reactive paint on there, it would be nice to keep the stock illumination and yet make the needles glow at night.

I actually think I got my Testors orange paint at Wal Mart, but they have really cut down on the nunmber of items they carry in the stores. It's part of the overall strategy to give the stores a new look. Other than that there's Hobby places and craft stores.

This set has several colors: http://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagor...32/product.php

Never thought of sporting goods stores, but there's this...
