Re: {Chrysler 300} Gauges



I also used a Q tip and thinner to remove the old paint from the needles.

On the electroluminescent Astradomes, I recently did a lot of experimenting with different paints for gage needles. I found that Plasti-kote High visibility fluorescent works best, and the needles still light up nice. The part number is FL-9 in an 11 once spray can. That can is more than you will ever need.
On 1960 gages the lighted part of the gage can be un-screwed and un-plugged. This leaves the entire needle exposed. I used a tape mask and lightly sprayed the needle. On the 61-62 the lighted part is riveted. I would spray some paint into a small cup, or a fold made out of paper, and use a small brush.
I also tried 2 different red engine paints, and neither allowed the needle light to shine through.
