I also like to paint the gauge needles. I bought a bottle of the paint a while

Your effort is much better spent just cleaning up the cluster and the
rheostat to ensure you're getting all you can out of the original setup.
Embrace the originality of dim instruments! Other efforts will just result
in reduction in value of the car, and indirectly shortening its overall
life.
The biggest issue I’ve heard form people who have done this sort of
modification is getting the “rest” position correct. Apparently there is slight
pressure on the speedo need to keep it on the rest pin, and if that’s not right
it doesn’t indicate properly.
