random 6 dial colour question...

[Calamity Josh]

could anyone tell me if there's a certain manufactured colour that matches the needles are on early mk1 six dials? while winding the mialage on the 6 dials to make them the same as my old dials i snapped the throttle needle,
unfortunately i had already sold my originals, although i do have some mk1 clocks with white needles so was thinking of stealing the needle and masking up then spraying the needle and fitting it to my 6 dials.

I went to b and q and got them to mix the right colour just with emulsion

Can't you use the needle off a speedo needle on the original clocks?

Oh you sold them! eBay?

The do peanuts on eBay, I have a set here that I was about to list but you've given me an idea to fix a set of clocks I have here now!

Here is the pic just taken, I painted them 6 years ago when I snapped 2 of the needles. In all honesty you cannot tell any difference but I spent ages doing it slowly with a cotton bud. I took a needle in and said this is the colour I am thinking of doing a wall...lie.

I am not sure if I still have the paint, if I do it may have the name of the colour or something.
