[R-390] Paint on counter numerals

[Dan Merz]

Todd,  is the testors paint non-water based,  one of the smelly types that
cleans up with paint thinner or lacquer thinner?  Thanks,  Dan

Hi,  has anyone touched up the numbers on the veeder root counter?  Some of
the white flaked off the six digit on the 390 so it looks like a small o.  I
thought maybe  acrylic craft paint would work and it can be easily mixed to
get the matching "yellow" of the other digits, plus it dries in a hurry.
Any experience here,  Dan.

Hi Dan, yes I have touched up numbers on the 390 veeder-root counter dial. I
just took some Testors model paint and a fine brush and did the best I could
with it. It turned out pretty nice - you can't tell it has been retouched so
I guess I achieved the desired result! 73 Todd WD4NGG
