painting raised letters and emblems

11 April 2013 - 06:33 PM

hello, sorry in advance for asking a question that's probably been discussed before, but what is the best way to apply chrome paint to raised letters, emblems, etc? the closest i've been to success is using a the edge of the end of a toothpick, but it isn't fine enough and even when it does go on ok the paint gets laid on too thin.  any pointers? thanks.

guide for trimming bare metal foil on long straight trim pieces

25 August 2012 - 08:54 AM

hello, i am wondering what would be the best way to trim a long straight piece of bare metal foil along the side of a car? the problem i'm having in particular is on the side trim of a '62 buick electra convertible.   the underside is easy to do since the knife can run along the bottom of the raised trim casting, but the topside has no such guide since it coincides with the crease in the body. what can be used in lieu of freehanding that won't also get cut by the knife blade?  thanks very much.
