I have several dashes that I'm putting together into one good dash (no cracks, unclouded lenses, etc).
I have a gear selector/indicator (not sure of the correct name) that is not broken, but the paint/chrome is all but worn off the front.
What can I use to restore it? Paint it? Re-chrome? Any suggestions.

Painting gear selector
Sadly, my 1966 Corvair Monza in Los Angeles is no more.
Re: Painting gear selector
Enamel might be your best bet. Its a high traffic lever so you might want to put a few coats

I used chrome tape. Buffed/burned the tape off of the letters with a mototool buffing wheel.

Re: Painting gear selector
Did you find a good paint/method to restore the gear indicator? The letters have to be translucent for backlighting, correct?
