Title: Embossed Lettering
Post by: msanborn on February 15, 2012, 05:39:09 am
Does anyone know the paint code, or type of paint to paint the embossed lettering on a 81B.  I have the "one shot" for the White lettering, looking for guidance on what color/brand to use for the Red.  Thanks.  M

I used used a sign painter.  He told me he used an oil based paint because it doesnt dry as fast and its easy to wipe off.  You may call a local sign paint business or shop and see what kind of white sign paint they might have.  Funtronics sels white and red but I believe it's for touch up??

Plus Each painter will have paint they like to work with... I just tell him what I want it to look like and he produces magic!

but check with whomever is doing it...
