Groomlakearea51 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Possibility.... In automotive parts stores they sell metallic gold spray paint that is supposed to be very shiny. Some spray in a plastic cup may work if applied with a fine brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace168516 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I thought I recalled an older post when someone was actually making replicas and using gold leaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace168516 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It was Tom Mobley...his post indicated the usage of a "gold leaf pen" might want to shoot him a PM and see if there was good luck with that technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorjen Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Use a "Krylon 18kt. Gold Leafing Pen" available at craft and fabric stores. The best by far. Got mine at Michael's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 What they said. Gold leaf pen. A couple pointers: shake well. practice on something else first. sometimes it comes out too fast filling the tiny cavities in the emblem. Alcohol is the thinner/remover for it, but have it handy and work quickly. the stuff dries fast and is hard to get off after dried. I got pretty good at it after a few pair.
