kuwahara grips - repainting name
« on: August 19, 2011, 10:31 AM »
So, picked up a pair of kuwahara grips, I was thinking about painting the name back white (with perm tyre pen) as it's worn away. The rest of the grips are in very good shape.

Should I do it or leave as is?

They'll be in the 'for sale' bit soon so just wondering what people would prefer really.  :)

Cheers
Matt

I've used Tipp-ex before on Tange grips, worked better (for me) with the little brush rather than a pen. :daumenhoch:

My wife suggested tipp-ex. Could easily try again, I'm sure a bit of white spirit will get it off if need be.

I'd get a c.ocktail stick and scrape away the excess paint around the letters  ;)
