Any craft paint, $1.00 at any craft or dollar store. Also Walmart carries them. Or any acrylic paint for models. Sometimes you have to rub off any excess paint that stays on outside the letters.
I've been wanting to install a knot on this Navy Brass handle I got from @Douglas Carey for a while, but I wasn't sure what knot to use. After I got another Surrey brush in a lot I recently bought with a green handle, you were right @Enrico, I decided to use it's knot as I had another green one and it's NOS.

I just did a write up in the 400 club thread on a couple 400s I picked up. Don't want to duplicate a post, but let y'all know it's out there. Have wanted a Rubberset 400 for a few years since passing on one in an antique shop. It was part of a "set" the dealer wouldn't break up... basically a $200 trashed mirror brush stand with a restorable 400. So now I suddenly have two
Restored this Rubberset, which someone just applied paint over chips and all, with a new 20mm boar knot...............
Not a lot to work on here. Replaced the knot, clear coated the handle and filled in a small crack on the ferrule in back with black epoxy...................
These are two Klenzo shave brushes that I worked on. I didn't epoxy them in place yet. But I'm thinking of using a Red Fox synthetic on the lighter handle, and the Two Band badger on the darker handle................
Haha I do that too sometimes. Cant make a decision on what knot to use . As a matter of fact have a handle here now that I'm still up in the air about what knot to install.
