Sure thing! Maybe I should turn painting these things into another business. Though, the little lady might not appreciate that since she would be painting them.

I checked again this morning and they could go on the truck now. Much better cure then before. We used an old emblem to test this technique and it also works great to check the paint cure. If I really press down on the paint it will make a small fingerprint impression, but it is easily smoothed out. When we paint the billet badge pieces I will probably use a bit more hardener. I would say a full teaspoon of hardener for 5 teaspoons of paint. It doesn't take more than say 10 minutes to do one emblem so no need to extend cure time really.
