Red Cherry Bomb Fill DIY
Traded my 2020 Squareback 2 for a 2023 Newport 2+ but was sad the cherry bombs weren’t red! Luckily, Reddit always has the answers and recommended the Tamiya clear red x-27. Filled in the bombs and CAMERON lettering and am very pleased.
Tools/Materials used:
- Tamiya 81527 Acrylic Mini X27 Clear Red: $8.50 on Amazon
- 1mL disposable pipettes droppers: 25 pack for $4
- Q-tips
- rubbing alcohol
- 100% acetone (nail polish remover)
Process
- if there is old paint you’d like to strip, use acetone and q-tip/toothpick/paper towel - careful not to get acetone on the alignment line or other areas you’d like to keep!
- clean putter with alcohol to remove dust and lint
- fill pipette with paint
- do each cherry bomb one by one - dip Q-tip in alcohol and rub inside cherry bomb (this helps the paint spread evenly across the whole area) then 3-4 drops into the bomb.
- the CAMERON part I used the dropper to spread across the area, waited 20 mins then used a Q-tip to remove excess
- Once it looks good, cover with a bowl to keep dust out while it dries, let it set overnight
