question on painted numbers

Caferacer · 03-06-2016, 02:22 PM

The cheap paint pens from hobby stores work good
1: paint area you wish to high lite, several coats may be required to fill in the letters or numbers
2: allow the paint to dry a few minutes, this step is important
3: once the paint has dried a bit, gently buff the area around the filled in lettering/numbers until only the paint below the surface filling in the numbers/lettering remains,
The trick is to buff the excess paint from the surface carefully and evenly so as not to dig out the paint filling the depressions you are trying to high lite
