Subject: Restoring numbering on knobs

I found stick paint at an auto parts store. You can use it on the sidewalls of your tire. My knobs are MM of either late 70's or early 80's, and they are engraved. Some numbers are more engraved than others. The stick works great on the more engraved numbers and less on the others. I apply the paint over the number and then wipe it off. The first try was with a cloth, but that just wiped everything off. I then tried plastic, but that just smeared things around. I was successful though with paper. I'm not sure whether the lacquer-stik referenced on the NG would have a different consistency and would be easier to use. I may try it on the harder numbers, but I'll have to mail order it first. I'll share the info then.
Thanks and ttfn,
Paul
