I'm completing the restoration of my 1929 Ten (top seat) and see a ACMOC decal kit available for this tractor. Does this kit include the lettering on the radiator casting. Hand painting is painful especially the script lettering on the front. It also requires two coates to get good coverage.

Thanks,

Put some paint on your finger and just dab it on the casting lettering.
Decals, If they were made would never stay on that rough casting.

 

Use a very short nap roller.

The letter surface is not only not rough, its very smooth and there is no pitting.
The decal may not adhere to the painted surface very well, but it wouldn't be because the surface is rough.
Thanks,
Tom

I just used an oil based paint pen, $3 at the hardware store. Took about 20 minutes.

WHOA, never thought about a roller!!!

They probably even have a foam roller for doing detail on the edge of the ceiling.

Thanks all, I'm on it.

i second the paint pen. dymark industries make jumbo sized ones they work well. remember dont press hard you'll bust the tips new tips are available though.

Never heard of paint pens. I'll check them out tomorrow and see what the color selection looks like.
Man,either roller or pen has to beat the hell out of painting the letter with a hobby brush. Not only is it
difficult to stay just on the top surface but it was going to take several coats to get good coverage and
not look splochy.

I want a good quality paint but I really don't need a 5 gallon bucket for the lettering on my Ten. Anybody got
a source of smaller quantities of good oil base paint in about the right shade red?

I realize the pen will have whatever color comes in the pen.

I have good luck with using sign painters striping paint available at Hobby Town if I remember right
