Plastic dial color
#7

Thanks for all the helpful replies. I'll see if Mark Oppat has one, but I would be also interested in Texasrocker's 37-610 dial. I'll send you a message.

I kind of knew that the markings would be damaged if you try to clean the dial, but was wondering if there was a treatment that would lighten the color without having to actually abrade it?

I really would like my model 70 dial to look more original. I didn't know that transparent orange paint was available but I guess that is what they use for the amber light bulb coating. I have an air brush to spray it and I used a matte clear spray for my intake manifold coating on my '65 Mustang from Eastwood Company with excellent results. Thanks, I'll try that.
