Good Day Everyone
Well after many many years of restoration, Im down to a few details. The free wheeling knob needs to have its letters painted white and the ring around the outside painted white. Any clues on the best way to do this?

I have good luck carefully painting the letters with white paint and then immediately wiping across the letters with a flat piece of metal or wood wrapped in a smooth fabric that is slightly coated with solvent. If you use laytex paint then the fabric should be slightly coated with water.

Hi Guys
I used Junkyard Dogs advice and the free wheeling knob came out great. It looks brand new. Very good advice.
Thank you.
