I'm sure someone used a sharpe pen ?

I think Costa/GTnumber1 did dia compe brake white lettering before ::)
can't remeber what paint he used ,, just painted it and wiped it off where it went out of the letter indentations
-
I used a clean nail and dipped it in paint and ran it along the lettering, it worked a treat and wiped off any excess to give a clean finish. :daumenhoch:

I'd advise testing an unseen section of the paint beforehand to see how it's going to turn out. They look fine as they are IMO. Either that or deploy the bandsaw. :LolLolLolLol: :-*

They look the bee's knee's mate :coolsmiley:, where did you get the dia compe adjusters from chap?
Did they come with the calipers or are they re-issue? As i could do with some new one's for mine ;)
