I'm building Revell's 2001 Corvette Z06 as a gift for my sister for Christmas. Since that date is coming up quickly, I need to get this model finished, and now I've run into another block--the fuel rail covers. These are supposed to be red with black "Corvette" lettering.
I tried painting the letters (that didn't work), then tried Bare-Metal black chrome foil, which I painted over. When I tried to remove the paint from over the letters, though, I wore the black off the foil, too. How do you do this?! I've seen a thread a long time ago about using foil for raised details, painting, and then taking the paint off, but how do you get the paint off without damaging the foil or the surrounding paint?? Or is there an even better way to do the letters? I need help fast so that I can get this project on the way to completion!
Thanks.
Alex
