I know there has been lots of discussion in the past (though not recently) concerning refurbishment of the silver lines on the 35, 45, etc... To the best of my knowledge, no one has yet come up with a suitable method for restoring the lines.
I thought I had a winner, but it didn't work out. I used the adhesive and silver leaf kits found a craft stores, as the representative example shown on the packaging looks close to the lines. But, alas, the real thing wasn't smooth and shiney. In fact, it looked a lot like the silver paint pens I've seen used before. Plus, the silver leaf is not durable at all. The one advantage leaf has over the paint pen, is that the leaf stays where you put it. With the pen, it's hard to keep the paint confined to the high places.
Does anyone else have a good solution for restoring the silver lines?
