I was reading the instructions again just for shits and giggles and noticed they want me to paint the VERY VERY small "PORSCHE" on the rear bumper of the car. How in the hell do i do this??

i just thought of somthing. Is there like a metal tape that leaves behind a silver film?? or somthing like that? b/c i could just mask off the area around the lettering and then use that tape (if it exsists) without it getting on the rest of the body. Jay, Pman you guys got any bright ideas??

ya.. i usually use the finest ink marker i can find, and go easy on it...

works really...

I use to write letterings and stuff on 1:144 gundam figures and it works really well.. turns out looking like decals.

If you want chrome lettering, after the primer coat use Bare Metal Foil to
cover the emblem,trim as close as possible,then put on finish coats.
during buff out go over the emblem carefully and the BMF will come out !
