Enamel paint spiderwebbing/blistering

What's the preferred means to paint Alaskan Camper badges? I've been poking about at it with exceptionally small brushes using model paint and have concluded that there must be a better - and much more accurate - way to get it done. Any suggestions out there in Alaskan Camper Discussion-land...

Beautiful dogs! We've had both Short and Long haired German Pointers and found them unparalleled - imho - in the field. Intelligent, strong, great companions. We acquired a Draht when we lived in Oberursal back in '76 and had to get special dispensation from the VDD to bring him back to the...

Yessir, that's absolutely a consideration - just less so than the galvi staples. I spoke with a camper outfit in Vacaville, CA and explained to one of their staff what I was doing and trying to understand. Given the state of my bulkhead aluminum and the possibility of a galvanic reaction he...

Beach, Thx so much for the reply and insight! Searching for Monel I immediately found 1/2" 304SS staples by the 5k (Fastener USA). Looking at Awlgrip marine product options now. :D

At long last I'm almost finished with the upper portion of my 58's "complete rebuild'. (Can you hear the trumpets in the distance...?) I plan to hang wiring over the holidays, test everything through on both battery & shore power and then cover the unit with a vapor barrier and 3mm roll foil...

An update on this thread: The wonderful folks at Alaskan Camper (Dorrie and Bryan) have sent a set of their new Alaskan Camper rails and slides; received today. The rails are 2" wide which is ~7/8" wider than the originals and feel much more substantial/stronger. They're also ~6" longer than...

Great suggestion!

No sir, not yet. It may be that the new brackets - a complete set - would be the best option; assuming availability. I'll send Brian an email.
