Have this insert installed by an avionics shop if you do
not have all the proper tools, are not a qualified
technician or are not sure you are capable of doing this
job. |
| 2. |
If your faceplate needs painting, remove it from the
radio. Otherwise, go to #9. |
| 3. |
Tape the lens area and the back from
any paint over spray. Do not tape the inside lip area as
this has to be painted. |
| 4. |
Fill any dents with a plastic filler or similar material. |
| 5. |
Lightly sand with a fine grit sandpaper for good paint
adhesion. |
| 6. |
Paint the faceplate with a quality paint such as Krylon's
1613 SemiŠ Flat Black paint. If you want a silver border around
the outer rim use a Testors' silver paint stick. They are
found in most hobby stores. |
| 7. |
Remove the protective tape. |
| 8. |
Sand down the front areas where the text is located. The top
section does not need to be sanded. This will let the light for the text to
show through the new insert. |
| 9. |
Remove the double face tape backing from the new insert. |
| 10. |
Place the new inserts onto faceplate. Reinstall faceplate
and knobs onto the radio. If light bleeds out from
the edges or holes, carefully apply some black paint around
these outer edges. Use a Testor's black paint stick or
similar brand found in most hobby stores. |
| 11. |
Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future
reference. |
