Hi all

How has this guy blacked out the indentation (before/after shot):





I think it looks pretty cool and, I will be polishing mine up very soon.  I quite fancy doing the blacked indentation affect..

Did my front Nippon myself, the painter at work gave me a small pot of black paint and a small pointed metal rod and I just carefully dabbed away!

Once it had dried I carefully scraped any excess paint off with a nail and it came out sweet!  :daumenhoch:

I used black paint and thinned it out a little. Brushed it into the gaps and let it dry. Polished off the excess with Autosol. Repeated it a second time to get better coverage.

Nice..  Yours look better than the ones in the link I posted - your graphic has a sharper edge..

Defo going to give this a go.

Good suggestion about doing it in a colour to match the bike!!

Paul
