I picked up a few artist’s brushes from the dollar store and then
combed my paint shelf for a color that would really stand out. Red,
pink, no...HEMI ORANGE! I placed a piece of paper towel under the
needle just in case I couldn’t stay in the lines and lightly coated the
needles in the bright hue.
Before I put the whole thing back together, I buffed out the lenses
with a soft cotton cloth and some Autosol from my Eastwood
Headlight Refinishing Kit. The plastic lenses were nice and clear
when I finished, with no swirl marks.
