Front hub dials
Anyone know of a way to restore the blue color without painting.

Re: Front hub dials
From what i have seen, painting seems to be the best way to go. IronCanine seemed to get excellent results painting his to the factor red on the 69s

Re: Front hub dials
Just thinking that rather than to paint the dials believe would have better results if used a plastic dye similar to when changing colors on vinyl. Paint would have a tendency to flake off I think. With the dye process believe the coloring would penetrate deeper into the plastic instead of remaining on the surface like paint. Dying vinyl or plastic usually calls for an adhesion promoter after a good cleaning. Just some thoughts, good luck.
