I used on my 1700 some stuff to repair car backglass defrost (it's a gold paint)you can find some at any good autoparts,it very conductive and ez to apply.

It works pretty well, just make sure you let it breathe a little before you put in on (because it ran under my masking). I paid 10.99$ at a local auto store, but you might get it cheaper online. I put some in the cap, waited a minute, and applied. Dries quickly also. Good luck.

ok... job, umm sort of complete... i stuck it back in there, and some of the multipliers work, but it is kind of dodgy... and for some reason my FSB doesn't like to stay at 133... ?
