Painting Script ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Building a 1//8th scale T Bucket and I want the script on the tailgate and radiator housing  white. Any tips on the best way to do this ? Than You

mechanical pencil new eraser or Amazon.com : STAEDTLER Mars Plastic Eraser Pack Of 3 Plastic Mini, White : Office Products

the latter would be able to pad print the logo in one fell swoop

i would use acrylic paint so if corrections need making, it would be less invasive to the base coat.  Vallejo Model Color

a hundred brands & colors you could choose. maybe not try to cover in 1 coat, just strive for sharp edges.

practice first. patience lasts.

clearcoat after.

Is the kit molded in white? I just recently read a thread on here about tires made from white styrene? where they were painted and then the paint wiped off of the raised letters. That might work?, especially if you are using acrylic paint.

Unfortunately it is molded in black. But thanks I will probably use that on a future build

If the car's base color is black, red, or some other dark color or earth tone, better make sure the white paint is one that covers well (like One-Shot pinstriping enamel)...

If you know someone with a Cricut cutter, they might could make that out of very thin vinyl for you........ Just have them make a few in case you need extras.

Prime the tailgate in whatever color you want the lettering to be and color coat over it with the body color. When it dries, lightly sand or scrape the top coat away on the raised script to reveal the color underneath. That’s what I did here.
