Meeze Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi I have purchased a volt gauge and dual oil/water gauge for my GT6 MKII and want to colour match the red/orange needles. I'm looking at Humbrol paints and can anyone recommend a match or is it best to mix 'n'match? Many thanks Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hello Maria. I needed the same for my other classic (red needle requirement) when swapping the ammeter over to a volt meter. Went to an art shop which I found to have a better choice, as Humbrol did not have the identical colour I needed. It's an expensive outlay bearing in mind how little you need !! It may well end up being a mix-n-match but hopefully you will be able to locate a single paint without having to mix. Good luck. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Richard, unless you're now officially a car whisperer, I think Maria's the car and the owner is Meeze! Good job on the needles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Humbrol Gloss Enamel code 209 is a perfect match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeze Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi all and thanks for your replies and I will advise the outcome once completed. I am cheating however, and having them done for me by a gauges refurbishment company. They are doing other bits as well. Anyway, in response to your query regarding my name. it is officially Maria, but my nickname is Meeze. It is rare that people use my proper name and I think it came from my sister, when she was younger, couldn't pronounce Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougbgt6 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well done Colin! You've made it through to the Promised Land. Are there still pension books? I suppose there must be, a friend of mothers doesn't trust bank transfers and goes to the Post Office to collect hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pension statement arrived this morning, I reckon I have enough to live on for the rest of my life. As long as I don't go anywhere or buy anything.
