It has been a while since I painted my friend's gauges when we had the dash out. Packard had black plastic caps installed so that the light from the various bulbs was actually "black light". I am at my daughters recuperating so cannot access the paint right now. It did not work as well as I had hoped. I remember those original gauges, but never saw a purple glow - just sort of an eerie white glow. The paint was better than what was there but fell below my expectations. I found the paint using a google search.
