    I had my daughter apply the gold and then I sprayed clear. The badge on top is a reproduction. On the bottom only the first letter is done.

      Should look very nice Marty! I have been using gold model paint for mine, sprayed with clear.
      Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

      When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

        Those look awesome Marty! My dad did mine for me. He did autobody for 20yrs, but I honestly think these look better. Did your duaghter brush those? If so I can't tell. I was thinking of spraying gold 1st, then taping the top of the letters.

          I painted them black as previously described. The gold was applied with a Krylon gold leafing pen.
