Beautifully done !! You must share your secret to getting the tire lettering so perfect . . . type of paint , brush , etc ... Tooold, I have learned that flat white looks best. That sounds obvious but I used gloss white for a long time. Flat white is a bit less "sticky" and flows off the brush better. I use the common Testors paint most often. I thin the paint a bit in the cap first and do a few test strokes to see if the paint is flowing. The brush is fairly thin and sharp, nothing specific but one of decent quality. I think the biggest secret, if I have one is, I use a lighted and magnified visor which allows me to control the brush better and I use two coats of paint. It is a bit tedious but I love the look of white raised letters. mike |
