    you sure you want to paint them? is it b/c you don't like the color? maybe you're better off changing the bulbs. well you have an 03 so i don't know if yours would be like mine but my needles were lit green n i hated them. now they're red.

    You don't wanna do that. Painting your needles will make them a solid color and they won't be translucent anymore. That means at night, they will not light up and you can't tell what speed you're going. Not a very wise decision. Just change your bulb color like curlupanddie420 said. I myself have an amber illumination. I looks surprisingly pretty good. I tried red, but it wasn't bright enough and hurt my eyes.

    Can you change the color of the needles without affecting the rest of the gauges? I have the stock greenish white but I'd like the needles to be bright red. especially once I get a tach
