How easy is it to paint it the numbers? Would I use a toothpick and dab paint on it? It is red but my car is mainly black gray and blue...

 

Someone who knows paint... could you give me a quick tip on how this is done?

 

Get some model paint. This stuff here. You can pick it up at a craft store for a few bucks. Then get a really good brush. They sell them too. Get a REALLY good one. It will pay for itself when you start painting. Trust me. Six years of art school talking here.

Then get a fine tipped knife or dental pick. Rough up the area (the numbers) that you are gonna paint. THen wipe the whole thing down with 91% alcohol.

Next just slowly and carefully paint ing the numbers. Let it dry for a day or so. THen if you want you can clear over the whole thing with a good two part clear coat or a good clear epoxy topcoat. (They sell it at craft stores to. Just tell them what you are doing and they will know what you need)

Done. Hope it helps.

 

+1.... what he said


was going to suggest the exact same thing, but he beat me to it lol

 

There was a DIY type thing posted a long time ago where you use a Crayon and grind the wax into the numbers. I thought it was kinda dumb, but someone (Maybe Street Sniper) said that it works..

 

I know the DIY your talking about. I have messed around with the whole crayon thing. I didn't like that way it looked. Plus when in the summer time, its gets kinda slimy. LOL

 

I will take my chances and try it myself after Thanksgiving but if it fails I am going to mail it to you!

 

If you paint it and that fails then just paint the whole thing to match lol

 

Where you talking to me Moog?
