restoring cockpit switches
I have been searching the threads and i am after a way to clean up my light switch controls on my nc30. I am looking to
repaint the switches and the lettering.
I have seen some thread where people have used model paint to re do the lettering but not the switch bodys. Has any done this with success.
Thanks

Re: restoring cockpit switches
I just done this last weekend to the ignition barrel. Used spray paint, blasted some into a little cup then used a toothpick to fill the letters. Will post up some pics later on.dgunthor wrote:back to black on the switch body if it's turned grey?

Don't think tipex would be too good though
