I got the tach from Eric, he had it rebuilt. So I am hunting for the correct color and finish to paint my speedometer needle. Does anyone have that information, there are so many colors from different sources. I watched videos but no one mentioned the products they used. Thanks

It does seem a little bit more red than OEM. I Used Testors Enamel Paint .25oz, Orange Fluorescent from Amazon for about $8. You can see in the photo it looks a little off under LED lighting, but in daylight looks pretty good. If you use it, be sure to stir very well as it is a little watery if you just shake it
