So all the shops I spoke with were quoting upwards of $700 to machine these due to the size and individual letters. I opted to resin print them and keep them a bit thinner than the stock letters. They finished today, I just need to clean up any leftover supports.

I'll put 3M automotive tape on them, cut to size, prime and paint in a slightly metallic white, use automotive clear coat, and then replace the stock letters. If these have trouble, well, I'll print them again.

Not possible without @HUSBANDOFBS! Thank you.

Some imperfections that make me want to reprint, and I think even though the paint seems to hold fine, I'd like to plastidip after install just to get a smooth layer.

They held up fine, but I can see why it would make sense to make the letters thicker after comparing to the stock letters.

NICE! What scale did you downsize the REBIRTH letters to?

I printed these last night just for giggles. I left them at 75.5mm x 28.5mm and 3mm thick. From the look and feel of the 3mm ones, I'd say around 4 to 4.5 would be good all around for strength with a tad of flex. Took the R out to the OWNEROFBS's and the look and size is really close ot OEM. Post up if you print more!

Some boogers to remove, but a pretty clean print overall.

These look great! Are you using a filament or a resin printer?

Filament. This was done with PARAMOUNT's white ABS. THE best printing filament I have ever used. It's great for prototyping or parts that you are gonna paint, as it's more of a translucent frost color than white.

I'd be more than willing to pay for a filament print of those letters. I'm still not confident resin will hold up to the elements. I'd pay $$ or even trade a resin print. My profile picture is an example of what I've printed and painted myself.

It is! A Captain America theme is what I'm working for on the BS, too.

What an awesome model! Incredible artwork for the paint job. Good luck on pulling together your BS theme too! Curious to see how it takes shape for you as I have a few Captain America things to use myself on mine.
https://www.amazon.ca/Plasticolor-002285R01-Marvel-Captain-America/dp/B01BOSTTTY. Starting with this. Bought for the Explorer & never used, may as well put it on the BS even if that will be silver instead of blue.
