The success of this depends on the colour. Yellow looks really good, but I tried red and it wasn't half as good.
If you have a dark colour it won't show very well.
But a good way to pass an hour or so!

If you go for the Morgan scripted ones - fill in with body coloured paint - looks good & stops the muck getting into the wording. What an excellent idea.

Hi Phil. What kind of paint and process do you suggest to do the in-filling? I found it easy to do the same with the organ pedal (wide, deep holes), but this looks kind of fiddly.

I did this today.
I used Chipex paint and applicator.
Overfilled the Lettering - waited 5 mins/Hub ( timed accurately) then carefully wiped off the excess with Chipex Fluid.
Great result - I like it!
Not a massive visual impact - but close up it looks very good (well I think so!!).
And I am pleased ...took about 30 mins ...well tea was also consumed and I took my time!

I used the body coloured paint I begged from Morgan on my first service and floated it in gently with a cocktail stick. When dry after a couple of days used a number 11 scalpel - razor blade will do - to remove any from the raised bits of the badge.or wheel where it had overflowed a bit. Tape over the nut so as not to get too much on the chrome.
PS - also did the badges as well on the cowl and "boot".
