PAINTING IN THE LETTERS ON TUF NECK STEMS AND DC CALIPERS

<< < (2/2)

GTnumber1:
on the calipers its a peace of piss make sure the paints hardend and you can mask off the brake and lightly spray over the letters and once its dry you can use compound to get the excess off, but the tuf neck ull only/maybe  be able to do it if you polish it up as the tigers head is not deep enough to prime paint and then try to paint the head over in a diffrent colour

Yep - What Stephencosta said!! 880's work will that way. I had a white set powdered, then masked off the as much of the caliper as poss just exposing the logos, then used normal spray paint enamel (from B&Q - called Plasticoat). let that dry, take off the masking then used a very fine between coats finishing paper to remove the excess paint from around the logos. I was very pleased with the result - good luck with your resto :daumenhoch:
