Black UKAI speedlines machined lines

(1/3) > >>

modfather:
I have just received my Black UKAI speedlines back from its restoration job but it being annodised black it was hard to have the machined line kept white. Has anyone got any advice for me to be able to complete this or has done this themselves. I know someone mentioned hand painting the machined line?

Isn't the line silver?  No idea how to achieve the look unless the lines could be machined again....

i take it the machined lines are still there? if so you could do it with some modelling enamel. you would need to make sure that any white spirit used did not damage the annodising mind you

carefully paint the line in ( prob best to do in sections ) with a really fine modelling brush
leave to go off for a few mins
use a cotton bud with a wee bit of white spirit on it to wipe any excess
leave to go off a bit more
wipe across with kitchen towell dipped in a small amount of white spirit and you should be left with a nice white line  :daumenhoch:

modfather:
Cheers brummie i guess this is the best method to do so.  ;)
