I can make you a kit if you like though. PM me for details. Edited February 16, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote
Bigturc Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 I painted them slowly with a small brush and took my time. I didn't use any kind of template or tape, since I don't trust it .. see bleeding etc ... If I was to repaint them, I'd trace a perfect circle line before on the abs and then paint inside and over it to have the most perfect circle. But from really, really close, you can see it's not a perfect circle, but seriously, did you ever looked at the one in the movie?!? And if you ask me, I wouldn't go any other way than painting them, ie no button kit since we have a really nice plate and buttons on the AP kit. My 0.02$ Quote
