Again, brilliant work!

Thanks Arch
it's easy. You have to use two differente paints, usually enamel and acrylic. I paint the caliper in enamel (gold, silver, titanium etc) . When the paint is dry with a small brush I use tamiya acrylic red to put paint into the recessed letters. After a while with a cotton swab moistened with alchool I remove the excess paint. It's important the swab is always clean so I turn it in my finger every stroke and there is not too much alchol, jut moistened.....

Thanks so much! It's just one of those things that should be so obvious, but it's not to me.

I'll be trying this next time, thanks again.
