Previous owner F'd up white face guage install

[RED92LX50]

I recently put on my own White Face gauge overlays, and I scraped the white paint off the back of the needles with an exacto knife, then painted them with Orange Testor's model paint. They look great in the day...but I must say they look very poor at night. Maybe because I melted the 'clear' backing with Goof-Off when I was removing the original Black faces!
