Re: rare orange needle gauges

I've never heard and/or seen of them before. I suggest they're painted.

Re: rare orange needle gauges

WOW! Those are rare! Probably one of a kind done right in his very own garage. My guess is the back side of his very expensive cardboard sign still shows the overspray marks!!!

Re: rare orange needle gauges

I got orange needles in my 86 but I didn't know they were not OEM. When I added an Auto meter tri pod A pillar guages I painted those needles orange to match. Testors model paint has an exact match.
