Switch gear painting

(1/6) > >>

TezzerTel:
Has anyone got any recommendations for paint to renovate the switch gear? Something hard wearing that doesn't easily rub of with use but thin enough so the lettering can still be filled with paint. I've had some powder coated but it's a bit thick and the writing isn't really visible anymore

Johnwebley:
Usually those little tins of Humbrol  modelling paint

And good quality brush

Had mine ceramic coated satin black, extremely hard wearing, thin as hell, letters are still very visible and it looks like a brand new switchgear. Use Humbrol model paint to fill in the letters.

I can look up the number of the paint if that helps and post some pics of my finished switchgear, I went a little OTT on them, anything that makes the bike go got green, anything that makes it stop gets red, the rest were a sort of bright orange. I like em, others may be aghast at the sacrilege 😁😁, I don’t care, I build my bikes to suit me not anyone else, if they like it they are free to copy it, if not then don’t.

I used Humbrol H19 Gloss Bright Red and 21 Gloss Black when I did mine, most model shops and Hobbycraft sell Humbrol paints in 14 ml tinlets, stir well for 1-2 minutes before use.
I did the black with my airbrush and filled in the lettering wth a brush,
