OK.... I'll give ya one....
I hope I honored RobinC by using his methods
I hope this would make him happy.
Hopefully (although I never met him here, or in person) I've given most of you only good vibes! Did not mean to bring sadness to anyone. Like I said, I just wanted to let everyone know that his album of the sanding is what helped me so much.
You didn't. Like Bob said, we miss him.... but reminiscing is good for the soul.Did not mean to bring sadness to anyone.
Works good, Just make sure it's an "engine paint." Mask a rectangle around the letters, spray a coupls coats, then use a rag dampened with acetone or lacquer thinner to wipe off around the letters. Let the paint "tack over," but don't let it dry fully before wiping.Also, has anyone ever tried filling in lettering with just spray can black? How well does it work?

if it's laying flat I rattlecan in the can cap and paint brush it into the letters real heavy, makes a nice smooth glossy face.
I just hoped to give you some ideas about how you could do this in an affordable way using the bench grinder that you already have.
