Jim,
Use India ink from an artists supply shop. Put it on with a small fine
artist's brush. I used three coats and finished off with black shoe polish when
the ink was dry. You end up with a finish slightly shinier than original, but
much better looking than the badly weathered Bakolite.

Subject: trafficator
i have tried cleaning up my old trafficator with no luck. it is dull
and looks grungy since it sat outside many years i guess. what is the
recommeded cleaning technique. tried fine sandpaper but did not seem to
work well. i remember guys on the list stating to use shoe polish,
but this thing is not that far along yet. thanks for any help.
