[Tigers] Heater face plate

[Jim]

I redid mine and a few others a few years back. Shot the bezel with some low sheen black.  Got a graphics place to do some rub down lettering and took me a long time to find and ‘tweak’ the proper font. A bit pricey as they first had to create a ‘negative’ ($40 but reusable…4” x 5” with as many rows as would fit) to make the rub down sheet which was another $32 I think. Looked perfect when done!!
