Look in hobby shops or any stores that sell plastic model cars/planes. Craft stores might have it too. I use Testors brand translucent paint and it works very well. It comes in 3oz. spray cans for about $3.50.
There should be two bulbs in the top of the instrument cluster that will come out with a half turn. Dust a couple of light coats of the translucent/transparent paint on them, stick them back in and test the color. Like someone else said, you won't notice much with the black gauges. I've got a set of white faces from Dave Barton, and they're really nice and not difficult to install. I used Testors #1601 Transparent Candy Emerald Green on the bulbs and the gauges are brightly illuminated with a green glow.
The Testors #1605 Transparent Candy Apple Red paint works very well if you want to paint your rear turn signals or back up lenses red. I painted the turn signal lenses on my car, and the color match is perfect and the light comes out red (not pink and not orange).
The Testors #2949 Transparent Black Window Tint works well for smoked/blacked-out lenses, but it blocks a LOT more light than the colored paints do. I used this on my side marker lights.
