I saw a couple of posts on youtube and some other sites on painting the roll marks on a reciever It didn't look too hard so I gave it a try.
I used flat white and flat red Testors paint. I also used some Testors thinner. I put a drop of paint on an old envelope, dropped a little bit of thinner and mixed it together with a tooth pick. Using a cheap paint brush from Michaels, I put the paint over the words. I let it sit for a minute or so and then used a q-tip dipped in thinner to remover the paint from the high points. I then hit the painted area with a hair drier and then used some Hoppes 9 on a paper towel to clean up the excess. I found a paper towel worked better than an old t-shirt. I did two coats. It might need a little touch up, but I think it turned out pretty good. Took about 10 minutes to do and it wasn't that hard.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
