Finishing switchgear
UKROBK7:
I must admit I thought the lettering was faded red but after reading your post I scraped the lettering and it was orange. Checked all my Humbrol from my aircraft modelling days (I must have a 100 tins or so) and you guessed it, no orange. Well down to the shops!
Switches are now completely apart. Photos, sketches, and notes taken and parts separately bagged - don't want to loose the tiny springs and contacts!

Guess what when i polished my switches i managed to loose the ball bearing that goes under the on off switch ARSE!!!!!!

Thanks Ash. just cleaned all the contacts and blades, nylon plugs in the ultrasonic cleaner and cables resleeved. Switch bodies with the powdercoater who is trying to see what finish he can achieve. Found some Humbrol Fire Orange in my box for the lettering but its gloss and I think it should be matt - it looks nice though! I see on the US site there is a recommendation to use FS 12197 matt International Orange, believe the closest match to this is Humbrol 82 or HR132 Orange Lining (railway colour).
