Re: Auto climate control dial numbers
ouch... almost painful to look at. honestly I would try to find one at a junkyard.. i wouldn't think it would cost that much (after you take off the bezel its a pretty small piece). the junkyards I have been to, if they don't have the part listed in the inventory, they make up a fairly cheap price, they'll look at it see that it is a little bit bigger than a brick, and see that it is electronic, and price it (maybe 12 bucks)
If you can't do that I don't know the best option. with any remedy, you're going to want to consider the illumination at night. ie: one coat of paint would look bad. Maybe you could find some matte black contact paper, pull of the knobs, trace the hole and the outside radius, and cut out one for each side (you loose the info displayed, but it might not look too bad)
