I painted my switch bezel but any thoughts on painting the lettering white. I know it sounds like a stupid question but a small brush and my hands just aint that steady anymore---Thanks
 
There is a paint stick that works great for that! Matter of fact A kit is listed on flea bay! listed on mopar parts mid sixties is where I seen it!
 
Find a old fashioned No. 2 wood pencil with a new flat rubber eraser on the end and get some Testor's model kit paint(white).

Shake the paint up real good and remove the cap. Dip the rubber eraser in the dab of paint left on the inside of the cap and then press onto the lettering of the bezel piece.

Basically, you use the eraser just like you would a rubber stamp and ink...only this is an eraser and white paint.
 
I tried the eraser trick and didn't get good results. I used a white ultra-fine Sharpie paint pen from Hobby Lobby and one of those desk lamps with a magnifying glass.

Use 2 - 3 coats for best results then shoot some clear coat to protect it from rubbing off too easily. The results speak fro themselves.
