A Bounty towel will polish the Black to a high shine, then take a Bounty sheet, fold it into quarters and lay on a flat solid table. Take some cheap white model paint (I used Testers) and lay the paint in the groove at the top of the knob and then in the groove at the front with a model style paintbrush (cheap). Slop outside of the grooves slightly and load the paint well in the groove. Let it dry for a minute then wipe each side of the knob on that paper towel. That will take the slop from outside of the groove and polish the knob. That's how I did these: http://www.zerobeat.net/wb8yqj/DR4C.jpg

Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I always used the lacquer sticks..available from engravers supply pl;aces. The only problem with them is the knob lines are very wide and deep--relative to normal engraved lettereing--so it is easy to get a kind of gobby application if you aren't careful. Lately, since starting to use them in modelling, I love the white paint pens..from artist supply houses. If you try a couple of different tip sizes, you will get one that lays right into the knob slot with no fuss and no muss. My opinion is these are now the way to go. And if you feel wild, they are available in a rainbow of colors :) Curt _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
