Do you mean the black rubber seal around the windows? I doubt that a decal is available, but could it be painted with a fine brush, or maybe a marker pen?
I paint mine! With a toothpick, filed to a nice point and then thinned out flat black paint, and then get it on the tip of the toothpick and more or less drag the toothpick down the edge to represent the seal. This might sound hard to do but its fairly simple....
I ordered a Japanese "pin striping brush" they use in the China Painting industry to apply very fine lines on expensive Chinaware. When it arrived, I was "put out" because it was two human hairs glued to a toothpick sized stick of bamboo! The hairs are side-by-side and stick out beyond the "toothpick" about 1/8 to 3/16". The hairs seem to work like an old time ink pen. The thinned paint flows between the hairs like ink, so is very easy to control once you get used to it. Try it, it does take some getting used to, and you MUST be very steady. The surface you are painting onto makes a difference too. Practice, and you will be able to make lines that require a magnafying glass to see. They paint vines and leaves on Children's toy Tea Sets with these brushes, as well as the gold trim on Dragon scales etc.
If there is a raised gasket molded in it's not too hard to do with a small (20/0) brush. I use a dry brush technique (dip the brush in paint and then whip most off onto a paper towel) and just rub the side of the brush (not the tip but side) along the gasket molding. It works well and helps to have some of the base coat paint handy to touch up where you goofed BTW - I think Microscale sells decals for 90MAC gaskets.
Watash, Some brush! I got a simialr type thing thats not made out of bamboo or anything but its like a small glass eye dropper thing. You know what the old glass ones looked like I'm sure, Well the bottle on this thing of mine is glass and is the same diameter as a glass eye droper and has a brush/roller type thing that you can add or subtract rollers depending on the thickness needed of stripe. But it drops well thined paint onto the roller and it self spreads on the roller as you roll the strip onto whatever.. No paint lines, no raised tape edges between colors. You can't even see the "rolled on" effect! I bought it out of the Micro-Mark catalog a few years ago. And haven't updated my Micro-Mark book since so. I guess I should get a new catalog and see what else is new out with the small tool specialists! But I don't know how I done stripes without this little thing.... Well besides decal pin stripes. But in painting on an irregular surface and all the roller does a fine job. For window gasket painting I do that work with a toothpick for the fact of having to thin a small amount of paint to use the roller and all so. And the need to do less then an eye dropper of black paint to paint the seals seems alittle awkward. So I just file a toothpick to nice point and use the paint in the lid and dip in the tip of the toothpick in, and then drag the toothpick lightly across the area I need a color of paint at that specific location.... And does an outstanding job and all.. But takes nerves of steel sometimes with tedious places! [ 16 January 2002: Message edited by: 7600EM_1 ]
I also posted an article about how my Dad used to pin stripe his engines using sewing thread early last year. He would use different colors, and no paint, just the clear dull or glossy over lay to stick the thread. It looked like the little moulding the sometimes is used to edge around stripes along passenger cars and engines. Its pretty easy to do, and adds a little texture too.
That would be an interesting little job i'm sure! You could almost make rivet strips and sheet metal seems with thread if you thought about it right. It would almost look like a seem weld when coated with paint. [ 16 January 2002: Message edited by: 7600EM_1 ]
