Fill up the letters with white paint and let dry for a<br> few days. Scrape over the top carefully with a razor blade to<br> remove the excess paint and sand using 400/1000/2000 grid wet and<br> dry. Then use a good polish cleaner and wax to rub the knob to a<br> shiny finish.</p><p>Kees Oudesluijs</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><div class="moz-cite-prefix">Op 25-5-2020 om 01:24 schreef Harold<br> Manifold:<br></div><blockquote cite="mid:862B4F00A3E047D5AEF46D21D37F148A@AllInOne"><div><span class="979442023-24052020"><span size="2" face="Arial" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">Hello,</span></span></div><div><span class="979442023-24052020"></span> </div><div><span class="979442023-24052020"><span size="2" face="Arial" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">What<br> are the tips and suggestions how to restore the dash knobs?<br> I am guessing the material is Bakelite.
