So, out comes the heater control panel - which was pretty rough - most of the "chrome" was worn off of the letters and edges.  Found a Krylon Silver Leafing Pen at a hobby store - $10 - and tried it out.  I am very pleased with the result - chisel point on the pen makes it very easy to control where the paint goes.  15 minutes and wow!  Not as shiny as the original chrome-like finish - but flip side - not all that much less shiny.  Looks so much better.

That looks terrific!! The one sad thing I look at on my dash is the old original heater control panel. I had thought by now there would be some "re-manufactured" ones available, but haven’t heard of any - maybe I haven’t looked enough. I don’t quite understand what a silver leafing pen is or does, but that looks great and want to do the same to mine - or find a "new" one. That would be a final touch to my dash, which is tan leather. All/any help from "The List" would certainly he appreciated.
