I've had good results with white epoxy paint that is sold in hardware stores
for touching up bathroom sinks or appliances. Comes in a little bottle.
Recently I used a two part epoxy which was a little thicker when applied.
After cleaning the grooves I used a very fine brush or a sharp tooth pick to
lay in the thick white paint. It was easy to wipe away the excess that left a
very fine line of white in the grooves. It looks great and should last
forever. I also used it to restore several dash knobs.

If so, has anybody tried to fill in the pattern with white paint? What kind
of paint did you use? What method? Paint the whole thing and wipe off what
you don't want?
