Default Need orange indicator needle paint

The gear position indicator needle in my 87 is faded to white. What is the correct paint to use to get it to look new again.

( I tried the search and found nothing)

Thanks.

Go to a hobby or craft store, they sell paint in what looks like a marker pen. I bought one in fluorescent orange and did my 85's shift indicator. Looks like a brand new one.
