I want my speedo needles to be florescent orange. Is there any paint i can buy from an art shop that won't make my needles too heavy to work properly?
Or could i buy a permanent florescent orange marker pen?

dont think you can make your needles too heavy cos they have a opposite part from the centre point whichs acts as a balance so there should be no weight. Get glow in the dark paint it looks quite cool

Anyone got any pics of the needles with glow in the dark paint as I have done the blue red blue effect in mine and the needles are difficult to see in the dark!
