detailing that E-body dash...
« on: July 10, 2007 - 07:41:27 PM »
Thought I'd show a little before and after on this lettering I've been doing for my friend and his '71 Challenger R/T... As you can see, the original white is long gone worn off.. Here you can see where I freshened up the letters... Man, these paint markers work great !!

No tricks, just color the area you want silver.  I bought mine at an office supply store . . I think they called it a silver paint pen or something like that.   :clueless:    :grinyes:
