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

tippex for the indented lettering if it's worn off

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.
Don't think tipex would be too good though
