i blacked out the grille with my Micro tip acrhival ink pen....these work great! when you do a black wash with a brush...you tend to dull the top chrome.. Hosted on Fotki

i use to do the blackwash method but dammmm it, just like what you mentioned Bob, it always dulls the chrome .... so more recently i started doing all my grills with black testors brush paint, then after it is dry i go back and scrape the top off with my fingernail which doesnt seem to hurt anything and always leaves things looking so much prettier ...... actually what you mentioned is what i do to emblems and some scripts too. example not the best, this was a few years ago.... i just painted sloppy like to fill the letters in and then went over the top and removed the rest....i used to get compliments on how clean they looked...not hard to do Hosted on Fotki
