Raised Speedo Numbers on 1970 Town & Country

[Hank]

Anyone know the best way to repaint the raised portions, numbers and bezels, on the 1970 dash? Or is there a service that repaints them? I tried using transfer paper, while it worked, its not as bright as it should be. Thanks

I used a sharpie paint pencil to redo them on my 69 300. Takes a steady hand and patience, but the results are nice. They are available at most office supply stores and come with different sized tips.

I used the Sharpie pen too.

Thanks John you did a great job. You must have a very steady hand. I will give that a shot.

No steady hand at all... In fact, my hands shake a bit... and then there's the carpel and cupital tunnel issues that make my fingers numb....

What I did was go over it once with a very light touch and just get paint on it. After it dried, I went back over it.... and keep doing that until it was filled in. Then a little touch up ... and then a little more touch up. It took me a few days to get it right and I'm a perfectionist.
