SankysVR6 1 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Standard dials with needles painted in flouroescent paint. Got the idea from the Corrado VR6's.Nice and easy to do, and hardley cost anything to do, as i bought the paint did my needles and sold the rest of the paint as you don't need a lot.
