infidelity Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I recently purchased a light sixer, and noticed 90% of the lettering for the switches is faded. Is there a way I can restore how it used to look? Here are 2 photos. Thanks everyone! :-) http://imgur.com/a/78a0P http://imgur.com/a/KPfBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djour Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Start with a good cleaning. Take the top off and wash it in the sink with soap and water. If you have a steady hand, you can go over the lettering with a paint pen. I picked up the Craft Smart brand at Michael's for the orange border (it's an exact match). I'm not sure about the yellow or red on the lettering, hopefully someone else can chime in on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 As far as the lettering goes, wash it first and see if that helps. If it's really faded, there's not much you can do other than painting over it or swap the switch cover out for one from another system. Painting over the letters will never look just right, so if it's something you really want fixed, buying a parts system and swapping out the switch cover is the only real solution.

The bezel is actually a separate piece from the rest of the top half of the case. I'd get a donor system and swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
