While working on the Electrics I had the task to re colour the indicators.
Faded indicators are a roadworthy failure. Must have Yellow/Orange ones not faded clear white.
With Haffy indicators hard to find replacements I thought how do I recolour?
Got some Translucent Paint in a spray can and they come up like new.
The one on the left is faded. The center, the top has started to fade. The Right hand one is the resprayed one.
This is the paint I used. In a little can but seems to work well.
I added a pic of before and after.
See how it goes.
Til next time

Re: Faded Indicator Resto
That looks like a good way of restoring the orange colour for the indicators, do you also get a red to be able to do the brake / parking light lenses?
Can you post a better picture of just the can?

Re: Faded Indicator Resto
HI, Here is the close up.
I got red, yellow and Orange.
After the orange worked I'm thinking of buying the rest of the stock out as they came from a closed down hobby shop.
So stock is limited also the price I got them may be worth it.

Re: Faded Indicator Resto
Can you post any numbers or manufacturer markings from the lenses?
