Beautiful work!!!!

Don is a anesthetist, so getting a syringe/needle to play with is easy. for the lay person, check with your doctor, nurse, medical supply store, or pharmacy.

thats alot neater way of doing that than i have done, I just spray em and wipe the high spots off with laquer thinner, good idea!

Looks good, did you put any thinner under the paint first to help it spread, or just put the laquer in?

**bigdon-70blazer** · 10-30-2009, 02:40 PM

I tried at first to put the laquer thinner in it first but the paint seemed to swarm on me so I just tried the paint out of the can and seemed to work just fine if I went slow and did not try to rush it. The paint was so viscous that as soon as I held the needle down, paint flowed out of it nice and slow. I did have to use two different syringes because after the first one was done, the paint seemed to get a little thicker and would not flow as well, but in a new syringe, paint flowed nicely. Be sure and fill the 3cc syringe up with 2cc of paint to give you a little pressure behind the paint flow in the needle.

Looks good Don, I have been thinking about Joel's way, and to me, if you use thinner to pool into the emblem, it will break down the paint quite a bit, leaving less durability, but I don't know since I haven't tried that method. Trevor
