Fun with a paint marker
« on: June 09, 2008, 09:16:14 PM »
My cladding lettering was peeling already so I got hold of a silver paint marker and redid the cladding lettering with that. On the tailgate I was a little bored so I did the letters in reverse. BE HONEST and let me know what you think.






From a distance it looks pretty good, up close I think it may be a bit much. I can always take a black paint marker over the silver and redo the letter faces in silver again

Looks good from my house! :dance:


Really - it looks good from the distance shot. Makes the letters jump out. Can't really tell form the closer pix the quality.

I like it - seems to make it easier to read.  Athough in the picture, the "c" seems to have some kind of line on it that makes it look like another "e"...just my eyes?  Avalanehe?


What is a paint marker?  Something I haven't heard of.

The C might need cleaned up a little.
         A paint marker can be found at just about any craft store or hobby shop. It goes on kinda like a marker but is more permanent and is thin and can run if you're not careful.

You should get out more  :joke: 

I've never used a paint marker but seen them used at GTGs, some people are creative. Letters on under hood parts, chevy bowtie on steering wheel or wheel caps. If you can find one that matches your truck color,... just don't get carried away and paint everything, I've heard they are addicting.

What can I paint next   :crackup:

Just paint your AVALANCHE lettering with your glittery fingernail polish.    :evil5:
