I thought the solid black symbols around the control knobs (4 whd selector, headlights, & key switch) lacked something being all black making it hard to see the raised lettering. So I came up with this solution.
What worked well was a fine point "Painters" permanent paint pen from Walmart in their crafts section ($1.97). They have different colors but I stayed with white since the line on the 2 whd. / 4 whd. selector knob is white. Now it sort of pops out like I wanted them to.
Suggestions for doing it are to have very good lighting and in my case with aging eyes to wear 2 pair of reading glasses to really highlight the edges to only get paint on the raised part. Clean with rubbing alcohol. Shake pen for a long time to get white pigment really stirred well for it to be as white as possible.
