Thank you.
I will say that the Molotow "matches" pretty well, but if you use it like touchup, you'll definitely notice the difference in sheen vs. the old faded factory finish. I tried to touchup, but wasn't satisfied and so re-did it--exceot the surround for the ammeter and temp gauge really wasn't faded or worn, so I just left that one alone.
I'd recco using the 2mm pen as opposed to the 1mm. Also, you use quite a bit of the stuff, so consider ordering the 3-pack assortment of 1,2,and 4mm.see which one you like, then use the remaining 2 as "refills" (the 4mm pen holds more paint I believe)

Great job ranger. You're attention to detail is awesome. I have done the gauge overlays,but need to do the trim next. The woodgrain and silver surround. I should have done it when I had it off to begin with.
