I hate to rain on the parade, but...
1) Painting them will not work (the factory orange film must remain to spread the light evenly, it should only be covered with something else that is transparent enough).
2) search a bit on here and V6P, needle removal has been discussed a lot.

they can be removed.. you do have to worry about getting them back in the correct way.. or your MPH, gas, and Temp will be WAY off! good luck.. After messing mine up and having to do some very tricky fixing i would just take the front shield off and used rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover..

Don't remove the factory coating, unless you want to spend a whole lot of effort getting things right again. I learned the hard way.
If you have to take them off, they can be a ***** to get right again. A datalogger makes it easy, that's how i did it on my last car.
