Yep dave, but the problem with the new insert i got from toro, the paint job wasnt done properly, heres a photo of it

Just incase you are wondering what glue did i use... I used gorilla glue, the brown colored one

Good deal Bro !
The insert doesnt look that bad to me, maybe you can clean it up some (i see a little extra paint at the 20?)

I used the gorilla glue on my pearl about 3-4 years ago and its still holding strong. i dont think you will have a problem with it

 

[Raddave]

But DO use gs hypo for the insert for sure !

No gorilla glue is too hard to remove you will snap the insert

[MENTION=83013]smoke[/MENTION] alright. I will definitely use gs hypo for my insert. Thanks for the tip!

Anyways what color paint should i use if I want to paint my numbers on the insert?
[MENTION=18367]dav[/MENTION] the paint on the number 10 wasnt done properly, its kind of darker in color as compared to the rest of the numbers.

We have tested it and it's a bit on the silver side.stock v5 insert is the best for now colourwise, if you don't want smokes permanent paint mod

 

[Leronira]

If i send my insert to you to paint it for me, how much will you charge?

Just wondering

[Leronira]

Do not use a soldering iron!

I learnt it the hard way with soldering iron. The pearl got burnt real bad and the steel casing holding the pearl expanded and now there is a hairline crack on the traingle because the steel casing expanded.

Well the good news is, now my pearl doesnt look white,its a bit brownish white like the gen and a hairline crack on the triangle but you bet i removed my pearl that way.
