Fitting white dials to my car and want to paint the needles red, as they are currently a minging orange. What type of paint is best? a touch up stick? lol or?

Think im going to have to risk paint, as the needles are orange dont think a red marker would look to good. just thought though im fitting blue leds so at night will it be impossible to see the needles? what colour should i paint them?
