Letraset for DC FS 880s...

[Jaan]

I've got a restored set of DC FS 880s and I want to restore the white Dia Compe.  Has anyone ever tried to use Letraset transfers or have any other tips (other than freehand)?

i would mask them up with just the lettering exposed...

spray with white paint .. let it go off..

remove the masking  and the gentle polish off the over spray with brasso...

you will be left with nice crisp lettering.....

Freehand would be tricky, i'm worried it might look a little naff up close...

The way it was done bitd, they painted the lettering first, removed the excess then had them anno-d as annodising doesn't remove the paint.

Just be as careful as you can and remove the excess with T-Cut, Brasso etc etc......
