Green paint for the PBT

**X66 714** · #1 09-12-2020, 12:05 AM

Anybody have an acceptable color green for the PBT stamps? I know vendors sell it...but, I was thinking maybe a hobby store. Thank you, Joe

IIRC, that's more of an ink than paint.
The size of the stamps were off significantly. Maybe that's been corrected.

Chick’s thread at TC suggested a paint pen applied to the stamp gave great results, and if you skip further down to reply 698, there’s a green that is worth testing for color accuracy:

Practise lots on a painted metal plate until your happy with the stamp and the ink weight. It's gotta be perfect.

Thank you for all the input. I looked at Chick's post that Tim shared. That looks like the way to go. I will also study the look & size of the stamps as suggested by Kurt. I got them from pacecarjeff. Thank you, Joe

Joe, notice that I did practice and found it worked best to apply color to stamp, then I’d stamp a piece of sheet medal and then stamp the cowl to give the desired look. The paint cleans up with water and is very thin similar to an ink.

Thank you Chick. I'll do my best...Joe

I used stamps from Hobby Lobby oddly enough and I think they came out pretty close. Paints were also in their craft paints section.

Edited for the visually sensitive.

Don't do it like Darrell or the whole firewall will look blurry!

Thanks Kurt. I was just going to get my glasses. I thought maybe it was me. LOL
