I got this Gillette Slim Adjustable from eBay. It's in great mechanical shape, and cosmetically pretty nice.
The only problem is that the numbers on the adjuster dial are faded or else the black [enamel?] has partially come off. It's difficult enough to read them without my glasses.
Is there a recommended paint and/or method for restoring them?
I'm thinking to just use Testor's black model enamel, dab it into the numbers with a fine watercolour brush or toothpick, and wipe the excess off with a paper towel. Repeat if necessary.
Anybody ever have to do something like this? How did it turn out and/or how long did it last?
