[DeTomaso] Speedo/Tach Needle Paint

[Will Kooiman]

You could spray the rattle can into the cap and use a brush.

If you don't want to mess up the cap, spray it into something else.  Don't
use a Styrofoam cup.  Been there.  Don't use your wife's measuring cup.
Been there too.  Don't use the cat.  Haven't been there, but I've thought
about it.

With as little paint as you need, you could just spray a piece of paper.

Will.

Thanks Nick,
I'll keep that in mind. The hobby shop is closer than Nordstroms or K-Mart
so, I'll try Freds idea first.
Did she happen to tell you the name of the manufacturer and color?

I had a secretary that had the right color nail polish.  It was easy 
and lasted longer than she did.

Thanks 
  Fred,
I'll try some.

Instead of using a spray that will 
  require maskong, try a small bottle 
of Testors florescent red that is 
  available at all hobby shops.

  But I'm wondering if others out there who have gone the same route have
some 
  advice? Different type of paint or finish?
