the touch up paint thats a pen and brush together?

 

yesyes!

 

You must have a REALLY steady hand! It looks great - did you mask it off at all or just paint it freehand? I have some red Duplicolor touch-up paint I'd like to try on my doorsill lettering but I'm not sure I can stay in the letters. Any hints?

 

I was going to say use touch up for lettering. Thats what I did. If you use metallic paint, keep it wet and light, you'd have to get pretty close to see brush strokes. Multiple coats and make sure the previous coat is totally dry before applying another coat. Full strokes like your painting your nails (!!why the hell would I know about that!!).

Haha I'll have to buy me one in galaxy silver then

Thanks man
Well I obviously masked it off, I spray painted it lol
Did I see the first page of the thread?

 

Geez u did all that with touch up paint? Even the black lines with the white stroke?
Hmmm ur nails ay?
:lmao:

Ur engine cover looks EXCELLENT Btw

 

The stripes were done with 1/4 inch white pinstriping, then 1/8 inch black stripe on top. Then clear coat to seal it. My hand isn't that steady, but no masking was used for the gold...

 

Pretty smart and u did a hell of a good job

 

THANKS! and i didnt mask it at all! did it all freehand! it takes alot of time and the headaches were worth it in my opinion ahaha. hmm and the doors thats pretty tough. id say you really take the time and mask around it and you just really take your time when painting them. is it the "Monte Carlo" youre painting or the "Supercharged"?

 

It's the "Monte Carlo" raised black letters on the doorsills. I'm going to try it today if it stops raining. I'll keep you posted!
