Got some more done this afternoon. I started touching up a few small spots of wear that i could do with the spray paint and air brush.

The pics below show the area below the ball/credit display.. first thing i had to do was put in the missing black line. For this i used the air brush rather than a sharpie pen as i'd done in the past. 1st pic shows how i masked off the area using paper and a few sockets to hold the paper down.

2nd pic shows the black line done. After the black had dried i sprayed on the red.. again i masked off the surrounding area with paper, and i used the same red i used for the name. rather than put the silver mask paint straight over the red, through trial and error i found it neccessary to spray white on first, then the silver after the white had dried.

On my first attempt, i sprayed the silver on, and it darkened the red too much. After i took all the paint off and started again, this time i put some white paint on over the red, followed by silver.. worked out much better. i used auto acrylic spray paints for all of this.
