Gauges: I've been tweeking, brighter, better? Options

[Dr Evil]

Well I just can't leave well enough alone. Another member had the same idea as myself not too long ago, to make the Tach brighter by adding a 3rd light. Well, I am totally in love with these blue LED lights and figured, "while I'm in there....." I am gonna be adding the third light (I need a bigger drill bit), but I was remembering that people were not too thrilled with the red needle on the tach and speedo. So, I am working on painting them white to better reflect the available light.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what paint to use? I have been goofing with different types all night, but not getting the results that I am wanting.

Its alive! The latest and greatest innovations from my evil 914 lab are a success. I have painted the needle white (much better), and the third light for the speedo works like a champ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Proof:
2 light standard (before, how inadequate (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) . Can lighting be described as flacid? ) Note the dead zone between 3 and 5K. This is with the white needle and it looks better thatn stock.
