Can the fellas who have restored a heater before give me some advice on the best way to do so. I have heater as shown below, but with no decals on the body. How do you reproduce the white text accurately? What was the original finish of the heater? Did you guys pull it apart and what should l be looking at replacing? Thanks again

I'm interested in this too.

So far I've found that a guy had good results with the text using what they call (dry transfers)

I know that some of the members have restored there heaters really well, hopefully they read this and can give there experience.

I've seen really good results with what a member said was screen printed? But I'm unsure of who would do this and the font and size of the text would be......

I think Minisport SA used to redo front panels & lettering for the Mk1 heaters...
