38-116 dial cover plates
#4

Sam, a year or two ago I posted some work done for a friend on a 37-116. His bezel was missing most of the paint. He mailed it to me and with careful measurements of the line widths and arcs on some, my wife helped out. Using a CAMEO electronic cutting devise (computer controlled paper cutter) she programmed in the circles and straight lines and cut them from a sheet of adhesive backed paper stock. It was a "kit" of several circles and several strips of thin straight pieces of two widths as I recall when cut out.
The kit was returned to my friend and he removed the little bit of paint left. A pattern was still on the brass plate (lightly) where the original brass was unpainted. He applied the various pieces of masking paper and repainted. As Ron pointed out, he painted it black! Can't win them all but the method worked well.
There was a thread here on it by me. Others thought the "kit" should be available, my wife who had to do the programming and printing thought otherwise!
Keep in mind the the detail is the brass base and not stripping tape of a brass color on top nor brass paint. PM me and I may be able to help if the wife agrees!
Best, Jerry
