Re: How to restore the 4x4 Blue Front Hub lock knobs?

I had a few mins today so I messed around with some blue lock-out dials to see what a torch could do to the chalky white faded dials. I cleaned them up, ( with very fine sand paper ) sanded any areas that needed it, then using a hot torch I
very quickly passed the flame back & forth over the dial allowing the flame to touch the plastic only for a fraction of a second at a time, slowly melting the white chalky plastic back to blue ! There not perfect, but much better than before ! What do you think ?
