Sorry! For Paxolin substitute Phenolic.
Old terms die hard and it may not be the same thing. The original dials were done on what looks like Paxolin and the paint is as solid as a rock but the material goes very dark with age. Gerry calls them Papadom dials !
When I had some dials silk screened I asked the guy to run a screen across a piece of US phenolic as a test. The bond was very strong and resisted severe abrasion.
