RE: Engine Case Logo
#7



Great question. Been contemplating doing this mod myself. I did this on my little 68 Honda Z50 MiniTrail when I restored it a few years back but I was able to take the covers off and set them down level on a table. I used Gloss Black Testors model paint and a tooth pick. Allow the paint blob to roll into the letter and then while still wet move it around the letter to fill it in. The paint if wet enough will self level.

I like the idea of using some blue painters tape and masking off the logo followed by carefully cutting the letters out with an Xacto knife. I think you could either free hand it with some modeling paint and a brush or mask off the side of the engine case and use some black engine paint in a rattle can. Allow to dry and pull the tape off.

I may try this in the Spring.
