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.
