SB-650 Bezel

[Greg Boye]

You may want to test the paint on the back side of the plastic first.  I tried to spray some white paint on the gray knobs of a IB-1 to fill in the numbers.  I thought that I would spray it on and then wipe it off.  I learned that something in the paint started eating at the plastic and I now have a very ugly knob.

Thanks,
Greg
