How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Patrick - 03-07-2003 I received a Voyager today -- HP-15C -- whose logo is worn -- mostly black now with very little silver. I would like to restore it. I'm sure folks here have the perfect solution. Is there a particular type of paint (perhaps model paint of some sort?) that would do a good job of restoring the original lustre?
The rest of the unit is in excellent condition so I think it is worth putting in a little TLC.
Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Emmanuel, Normandy - 03-07-2003 Paint: Humbrol #11 Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Patrick - 03-07-2003 Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I am a newbie at this game and I don't understand your response. What type of store would stock Humbrol #11? Would this be a model paint?
Any details you could provide would be appreciated.
Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Emmanuel, Normandy - 03-08-2003 Yes it's a model paint. Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Spice_Man - 03-08-2003 What does it mean to "make a 'dry brush' on your logo?"

Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Emmanuel, Normandy - 03-08-2003 "dry brushing", modeler slang Re: How to restore a faded Voyager logo? - Spice_Man - 03-08-2003 What is the difference in outcome if one "dry brushes" rather than "wet brushes?" Much obliged!
