window molding

[catd11rpusher]

I,m trying to paint the black around the windows of my 123 kenworth and going crazy, I,ve tried to use a sharpie but being steady is not my greatest strenghts. Metal foil you guys say works. How do you use it? I have looked on websites but I don't know hows it is put on. Any help would be greatfull as always, also can somebody show me some pictures of the inside of trucks with made up drapes, and the sleeper bed. I'm using a old white t-shirt for the bed cover,but stuck on the pellow, and the drapes, please help, I'm almost done and I will post some pictures of my beast.

Thanks always mike t.

If the Sharpie isn't working, a fine brush and acrylic black will work. If you make a mistake you can wipe it off with a damp cloth (before it dries). You want the paint just thin enough to flow with the brush but not wick off to crevices and other detail.

Mike, you might want to get yourself some Bare metal foil. This material is actually a really thin real metal

sheet similar to the wrapping found on candy bars. Except that it is coated on one side with glue. All you do

with this is remove it from it's backing paper and apply it to the surface to cover. Then you take a hobby knife

with a new blade (really needed here) to cut the contours, then burnish the foil on the surfaces covered with a

Q-tip swab or something soft and smooth to mke the foil stick to the contours correctly and you have chrome on your moldings, door lock and

handles, whatever. You need black on the windshield moldings, so, either you mask the area to paint with any bare metal foil

or you buy the black chrome and apply it directly on those surfaces. You can buy these foils directly on the Bare-Metal Internet site.
