Default White Recessed Lettering on Keys or anything else

This takes about 5 minutes and 50 cents to do and it improves the look or visibility of what you do it too. I did it to the Ford logo on my key and the lock/unlock lettering on my girlfriend's keypad, but it can be done to anything that has recessed lettering.

You need:
-White Crayon
-Paper Towels

1) Take the white crayon and rub it over the recessed lettering. As I mentioned before, I did this to the Ford logo on my key.

2) Use the paper towel to wipe down the excess wax on the surface.

3) Repeat step 1 & 2 until you like the results.

Pretty simple

i did this to my keys with white nail polish. used non-acetone nail polish remover to wipe off excess. i think it looks pretty good...and should last longer than the crayon.

AND it won't turn brown. I did the crayon thing to one of my pistols and the white turned brown. Luckily, the crayon is easily removed with a metal pick.
