Easy dash knob refreshing (1 Viewer)

[firefighterjed]

Freshened up my knobs. For the lettering on the knobs I used a product that a professional engraver recommended. He uses Lacquer Stick and it performed just as he described. Just cut the end of the stick off to expose fresh material. Smear it on the letters in every direction to get it in every nook and cranny, then wipe off with a dry cloth. Easy as that!

Wow those look great! Seems like an easier product to use than the Sharpie paint pens I ended up using

Where can this product be purchased locally? Auto parts store? Big box home improvement? hardware store?

Those turned out really nice.

and again, where can we purchase that product?

Just ordered a stick on Amazon - $5.32, free shipping, no tax. Should be here within a week.

I got mine on amazon.

That looks easier than all the various methods I have used.

But, if you want to impress the ladies with your job, do the cigarette lighter correctly - white cigarette body, red tip, gray smoke, and yellow filter end. This will require a fine brush, steady hand, and a collection of model paints. But, you will be a (minor) hero.

Do you have a photo of your description of the lighter?

Closest brick and morter I could find with that exact pen is Grainger. Lady I spoke with said they could have a #41mw09 pen in a Columbus store by tomorrow. Said she’d just need a heads up to get it on a truck tonight.
