    This is what the experts use...http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/index.php/Dash-Worx_Instrument_Needle_Paint

    Go to a model store and spend $3 on it.

    Testors "Rubber" is what they use to restore the dark brown rings around the gauge openings on the bezels.

    I used "Testors flourescent orange" model paint for my speedo and it seemed to do the trick.   Not sure the actual colour, but there are not a lot of similar colours.
