Re: [ATM] Spider vane color?

[Kevin MIchael Zabbo <chaosopher23@yahoo.com>]

To rough them up, use some #320 lightly on the
surface.  This should work.  Then clean it with
alcohol or acetone.  For the coating that you do not
want to thicken, use a wide-tip permanent marker and
blacken them up.  That should do it, and it's cheap
and ready to use in about 5 minutes.
