Do a search on "Ranger Paint Co" and you'll find a little garage outfit that sells rubberized paint. I bought a half pint just to see how it flowed. It took a long time to dry but it appeared quite durable. Whenever I wear out my MTs and go to Billboards I'm going to give them the full Ranger treatment.
The paint pens/fabric pens are easier to apply and look good for a few miles. But they will begin to crack and look like shiat soon after.

I just got a pint of that Ranger Paint myself, haven't got around to using it. I was wondering what kind of paint brush or whatever to use with it?

I was planning to use a short bristle artists' brush (like something you would use for toll painting or something). They have them in small sizes at art supply stores. |
I had pretty good success with an airbrush & acrylic paint. Hasn't yellowed or cracked in well over a year & the airbrush was a lot smoother looking than a pen (done both.)

Did you have to tape off the letters or do you have enough control to just paint? |

P.S. On a clean car the tires should be clean as well. Yours look marvelous! (think Billy Crystal accent)

I didn't - no. The airbrush I bought (Aztek) comes with a very fine nozzle that isn't much wider than a pen point - and the overspray is almost invisible. You need a fairly steady hand - but I found it to be pretty easy - and faster than a pen.
I'm just amazed that an acrylic paint would last this long & not discolor. |
BTW - I just ordered a set of rear tires from Roger Kraus (blew one out) and will be touching up all four. I'll post pics.

should have cleaned the letters first.........drove the car to Mid-Ohio (approx. 10 miles) today for a driving school (not with the cobra) and by the time I got there, some of the letters looked like sh!t........the new white paint had cracked and flaked off.
Should have stripped the old paint off first.......doesn't pay to be lazy I guess!!

p.s. yep Steve.....nothing better than a little T & A.

Thanks Durt. Sounds good. I have wanted to get an airbrush for a while now. |
