I bought an applicator bottle full of dry graphite lube for the locks and tumblers at the house several years ago.

A few parts need a brighter metallic finish and for this I used the graphite.

 

I have facial makeup applicators somewhere stashed but I couldn't find them.

The applicator was made by sticking a piece of self adhesive neoprene tape onto the end of a wooden craft stick. It was dabbed into a small pile of graphite poured directly out of the bottle

The graphite was rubbed onto the part surfaces where it is suppose to be that sort of titanium finish.

(that tiny little scratched detail part located at the top of the right hand grip broke off somewhere so I'm making a new one now)

Sixx - Thank you brother!

Michigan Madman - the Tumbler is already released and out now ?!? Yes, I sure will. Thanks for the compliment :)

I'm not sure if it's out yet or not (it's been delayed at least once from what I've heard)- I just know I'm chomping at the bit for that one to come out!

I bought this when it came out but it is outside my wheelhouse and I have been hesitant to start it because it is different than what I am used to . This walkthru that you are showing us has really helped clear up alot of questions I had about this kit . thank you I really appreciate it.
