What type of paint do I use. And is there something that I need to know before I paint it? Any precautions whatsoever?

i painted mine with testors pain.
the biggest tip i will give you is to do one smooth layer and thats it. if you mess with it too much it will look "painted" -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Thanks lagos, anyone else have ideas, again I still want the needles to light up, like lagos said and not have the "painted" look.
