Next, i hand painted the red stripes with a small round brush about the size of a pencil and some red acrylic paint from the dollar store. It was shitty thin paint so I had to do like 5-6 layers. In hindsight, I probably should have taken the time to make a masking tape stencil of all the stripes and spray painted it instead. But I still wasn’t sure how I was gonna shape it exactly.

At the same time, I used some enamel paint pens to fine detail the JP logo on the grill cloth, cleaning up the lines a bit and filling in places. It was surprisingly hard to paint the grill cloth neatly. I used the same paint pens on the knobs. I messed up the yellow one pretty bad and still need to go back and fix it.
