The dials are etched, and are .200" per turn.
I can't read them without magnification and an extra lamp.
I would like to make them black down in the grooves and white on top.
How is that done?
TIA


Sometimes you can clean them well (slots, hopefully they are
recessed and not just painted on) and darken them with a
fine tip felt marker. Color of your choice.
