[Healeys] Trafficator Accident

[Deejay2650 .]

G'day All,

*Refinishing the Bakelite Head*

I have lost the source of these instructions or I would give attribution,
but clean the head

well and wipe with a liquid cleaner like the type used before spray
painting metal.(Prepsol or Wax and Grease Remover



Then apply black India ink or (If you can get it, Waproo Raven Oil, black
powerful oil stain)… I used two coats letting the first coat dry for about
an hour before applying the second.



Then use black paste shoe polish rubbed in well. Polish. Reapply paste and
polish again. Finally, apply a coat of carnuba wax for protection and final

shine. Be very careful to not drop the bakelite head! I recommend doing all
the polishing over a carpeted floor in case the head is dropped. This
should result in a control head that looks brand new.

Happy Healying,

Darryl Ross
