How to paint the letters on light and kill switch control

<< < (2/2)

neat street:
No cable cutting required, but do take some pictures when taking apart, suprising how quick you forget. easy enough but fiddly.

Oddjob:
The kill switch needs to be desolded to remove it but the rest is straightforward.

JezzaPeach:
Not sure but just wondering if one of those paint pens with the very small metal tip might help.

neat street:
No, tried and failed, the `paint` is not heavy enough to do the job, I used humbrel enamel model paint.

Spitfire:
I also used Humbrol enamel model paint on my switchgear, Humbrol 21 Gloss black on the switches and Humbrol 19 Gloss red, these come in 14 ml tinlets.
I took the switches off the bike and put them on a pair of handle bars and used my airbrush for the Black.
Once the black was fully dry a couple of days later the red was painted with a brush, excesss was wiped off with a cotton bud.
Note that some people say that the latters should be orange in which case it would be Humbrol 18 Gloss orange.
