[Boatanchors] LETTERING ON WRINKLE PAINT

[LeeCraner at aol.com]

Bill,
 
Consider having the lettering engraved.  About any engraving shop can  set 
it up on the computerized engraving machines.  See my HBR and matching  HBT 
transmitter in the Projects section of my web site to see what the results  
look like:  _www.emmittsfixitshop.com_ (http://www.emmittsfixitshop.com)

I just  looked at several pictures of the HBR receiver series from the 50s 
and 60s  and several were finished in black wrinkle/crackle paint with 
beautiful  white lettering.  I tried water slide letters on my last project 
but  they did not work well at all. I'm no artist so I would never attempt  
painting the letters.  I have contemplated placing the letters on  smooth 
metal plates and then fixing the plates to the panel after scraping  away 
the 
wrinkle paint.  Does anyone have other methods I might  try?
