[R-390] Fwd:Refinish radio face with recessed lettering?

[Tom Norris]

Allan needs folks help. Told him there were
quite a few ways to do this correctly. I may
not be a 390, but the folks that do refinishing
here may be able to help him.

Reply to him and not me

He can't be too bad a guy, he drives a Pinzgauer
