Miner details

So I got this idea I wanted to share in case some one wanted to do the same. My gauge bezel has silver outlines and was so wore out you almost couldnt see it in spots. So I got this idea, metallic pens. While you can rub the pen off with a little force, it is a pretty cheap (buck or two) way to clean up these out lines. Hopefully some one can use this.

Re: Miner details

That's how I redo the raised lettering where it says LIGHTS and such. The rest I do with tape and airbrush.

Re: Miner details

Good idea. I wanted to repaint my dash bezel and this pen is a good way to bring back the silver lines. Im going to try it for sure.
