[Healeys] Restoring Dash Knobs

[Tom Felts]

speaking of knobs--I just ordered a new choke cable from one of our very good suppliers.  the quality of the knob itself was poor--the word "choke" was wavy.  Poor aftermarket piece.

Clean the knobs thoroughly using white spirits and let dry
 completely. Fill up the letters with white paint and let dry for a
 few days. Scrape over the top carefully with a razor blade to
 remove the excess paint and sand using 400/1000/2000 grid wet and
 dry. Then use a good polish cleaner and wax to rub the knob to a
 shiny finish.Kees Oudesluijs

Hello, What
 are the tips and suggestions how to restore the dash knobs?
 I am guessing the material is Bakelite. Mine are dull and
 almost all of the white lettering is gone. Picture attached. Thanks....
