Instead of using solvents for the decals. Try pressing a steaming hot damp(not wet)cloth over the decals. They will set and conform instantly. Use a hot damp Q-tip for small areas. Start by usng a seft brush brushed over the decals to smooth them and get the bubbles out then hit them with the cloth. I could not have done this car without this method. The car is painted white and th rest is decals.

Pat why don't you just leave this thris alone and respect the people who do care. And just because you didn't know anything about him doesn't mean he was not famous. If Bobbit is on your list you spend too much time reading tabloid trash. By the way your comments are not funny and you are not the expert on everything. I think this board would be a nicer place without your presence.


In Topic: What's the best way to paint this piece without obscuring the letters?

I would mask and airbrush the area with Tamiya acrylic Flat Black. Then when dry carefully scrape off the top of letters with a toothpick.

I did have a problem with gray plastic. Revell of Germany Mercedes DTM car had the main body in grey and the running bord/lower sills molded in white. When they were primed using Plastikote T235 sandable white primer there was a noticeable difference in the parts. I sprayed some BIN sealer and more primer to correct and it came out perfectly matched. BIN sealer is excellent for this but it is better airbrushed because the cans spray terribly.
