Anyone ever used these paint markers for gauge bezel touch ups?
« on: December 26, 2014 - 09:53:18 AM »
Looking for something to replace the worn off silver around the standard gauge bezels on my Challenger. Wondering about these? The white would be good for vent knobs etc.. too?

I've used similar ones. You might find them cheaper at a craft store :dunno:

I used a similar pen made by Testors.  Color was silver argent - 2546.  Got mine at hobby lobby, but I agree, any of the big crafting type stores will usually have them or something similar.
