NO!

it weighs your needles down and gives you incorrect readings!

since acura needles are send from electrical signals, they are already setup to run the tiny motor that turns the needle to a certain point based on the weight of the needle relative to the speed, gas, rpm's, etc...

i strongly recommend against it.

actually, white on white will look cool i think! it will be uniform. it wont be the most visible thing, but it will look classy, and the shadow it casts will give you enough shadow to see that you are doing 115 and you should slow down later!

When I put white dials in my old Civic, I painted the needles with flat black spray paint. They looked really tight! After I did it, I checked out the readings. Still idled the same and in fifth gear the RPM vs SPEED matched to what is was before I painted them. IMO It should be fine, it takes so little paint to change their color. Just don't over do it.
