Kevin,
No secrets here. My goal was to keep the "stenciled look", so the overspray was left in place. Simply touched up the letters w a small bush that came ordered w the Ranger paint from http://www.rangerpaint.com/. Single coat primarily, two coats where the whilte was inadequate.
There as small brush marks if one gets close, but that is not normal. The tire has a "look" that goes w the car, so close ups are not so critical. I did retain all the stencil features like the A triangle, split D, etc. W the overspray left left in place, they look the way I want them.
How did you do yours? |
