freshening switch blocks

[FLEA]

any ideas on painting or freshening old switch blocks , have a few that still work well but definitly weather worn and cosmetically challenged

I take 'em apart, bead blast 'em and paint with VHT paint. 200° in the oven for an hour and looks good as new.
Google Diablo Cycle for the switch decals. They're inexpensive and very good quality.

VHT is a brand name. It's about the best rattle can stuff I've ever run across.
It's even available in your part of the world.

Jim, what paint would you recommend for frame/ chainguard touch up? Need to spiff up a few spots on my bike.

Just my opinion, but VHT is my go to for all my rattlecan needs.
...except primers.... Rust-oleum rules the primer nest.
