Hello all,
I hope everyone is doing well this week. I’m hoping someone can shed some light on the secret to painting the letters on the throttle plate. I wanted the letters to be ivory so I took the smallest paint brush I could find and “attempted” to paint them but it was more tough then I thought. How does everyone else detail the letters on their throttle plate. I’m wondering if it might be better to sand down the black paint just so that the aluminum is showing… I don’t know… any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you and
P.s “It’s better to take a delay then have a disaster”
