adding marker lights and emblem to semi cab
Posted by armor 2.0 on Monday, October 16, 2017 8:30 AM

This maybe a dumb question I'm building a mack semi question do you add marker lights air horns and emblems before paint. Or after if you add them after and half to scrape paint off so glue will stick your going to mess up a good paint job so what's the best way to do this.

Thank you in advance

I'd say after paint, and use a water base glue like Aleenes Tacky Glue for a good hold without damaging the paint.

Hello!

I'd say after painting, this way you can get a nice, glossy finish on both parts (the roof and the markers).

If you want to see some Mack overkill, you can chaeck my thread here:

Good luck with your  build and don't forget to show some pictures! Have a nice day
