Finally got the Dakota Digital control box mounted and the switch bezel lettering repainted.
WOW, no kidding
Your lettering look really good. I tried to do mine on my e body but I could never get it good enough to suit me so I ended up sending it out.Finally got the Dakota Digital control box mounted and the switch bezel lettering repainted.

Beautiful Belvedere! Colour and wheels really make it.Temp up to 50 today and partly sunny so got the Bel out of the garage and drove it around town for first time since October. Stopped at the Mopar dealer for a photo or two . .

one technique I have found that works great for painting the lettering is to use the eraser on a #2 pencil.How did you get the lettering so crisp?
Good idea, when I done the one on my 68 I hung it upside down so the white paint wouldn’t run downward into the black. It worked great. Gravity is a wonderful thing.one technique I have found that works great for painting the lettering is to use the eraser on a #2 pencil.
Use a pencil with a new unused eraser and use it like an ink stamp works like a charm with a little practic.

My wife is into crafting/scrapbooking, etc. I used one of her Posca paint pens. Amazon has them; Joggles has them. It was the 0.7mm tip. Afterward, I sprayed the whole bezel with a matte/flat clear to seal it.How did you get the lettering so crisp?
I am glad you took your daughter with you, and especially let her drive! I got my daughter in to cars many years ago, and it has been a very good thing for her.Drove 2 hours plus to a show in Florence Az.
Had a good time and saw A LOT of really nice cars.
This was on the way home.
Daughter drove it home.
