Russ, I re-did the needle on my TR4 Lucas ammeter in '94. (The "guts' of the
ammeter had been replaced with a red needle.) I used Testors Model airplane
Gloss White #1145 - available at any Hobby shop. Three coats with a day's
drying between each coat.
Looks the same as the other gauges and is still great after 5 years. Should
be no problem at all if you are doing both gauges as they will match each
other and the other gauges are far enough away so that any slight difference
will not be noted. Hope that helps.
