When I was perving over AWD gauges, their suggestion was to get at the NB8A needles with your desired coloured paint for models etc.

When I put the white gauge faces on my NA I scraped off the original white paint and repainted it using some classic red touch up paint I had. Worked great. You've just got to be careful and use a fine brush so that you dont put any paint on the sides of the needles and get an even coat of paint along the length of the needle.
