All

I need to touch up the lettering on my calipers & wondered is it just a case of a small brush & a steady hand ?
Can you mask off the lettering so you dont get paint on the black bits ?

Any hints n tips appreciated !!

Cool

Try ising a cotton bud dipped in paint (not too much) and roll gently, or use an eye shadow applicator with the small sponge on the end, worked for me..

Thanks AudiMan !
I wondered because the lettering is raised that if you got something flat & applied pait to it then pressed it against the lettering it would paint the letters but nothing else ??

Cool

I just did this with my new 4pots. I tried one of those mini rollers with a hard foam gloss roller but it didn't work too well. Resorted to a model painting brush and it now looks spot on.
