| Post subject: | Painting "LIBERTY" On The Side Chrome Strip |
First off, sorry about the pic quality. I used Dark Khaki touch-up paint. 1. I cleaned off the lettering with acetone to remove any oil or wax. 2. Covered lettering with painters masking tape. 3. Cut out lettering with exacto knife. 4. Used the touch-up paint brush to paint 2 coats. 5. Masked off with newspaper. 6. Sprayed with clear coat. That was it. After the last picture I went back and cleaned up the lettering a little. (tiny pieces of tape) Terry

When the time comes check with some junk yards to see if you can find some nice shiny ones.
