I was cleaning my gauges and tried to paint the needles with some orange paint, but the needles were too fragile. I broke the needles on the fuel and temp gauges. Does anyone know a vendor that sells the needles or could replace/refurbish them. I know you can buy new gauges, but just trying to explore my options

Welcome to the Forum. Needles for newer chevy cars and trucks are on ebay and amazon. Buy a set, paint them and make them fit. I never stumbled over a new set for the old gauges.

One of my friends made some by cutting a piece of appropriately colored plastic of a cat litter tub or something of the like, and gluing it on, didn’t look too bad.

I actually ran into a similar issue taking the gauge cluster off. I'm planning on having a friend 3d print some unique needles to fit. Or I may finally pull the trigger on a 3d printer...
