Im stripping and respraying mine tonight in standard red.Anyone any tricks on how to leave lettering unpainted,I presume masking it would be a mare.?

Surely it’s easiest just to paint it all and then sand back the raised bits of the lettering to metal again?

Yep I thought about that but just thinnking it might chip it away from the sides of the raised lettering.

I'm just having mine sprayed at the moment

when i get it back i was thinking of detailing the lettering with a silver paint that i think u can just get as a pen style application

when I do mine I'll be sanding down the paint on the lettering.

Surely if your paint all comes away when you do that, it aint going to last very long anyway?

over the next week (while i am waiting for parts, to fix my car, yet agin) i will be doing mine.
thanks to the help from the guys on hear.
i recon sanding is the way forward

im thinking about doin mine in a few weeks standard le red with silver lettering :-) put some pics up of youres when there done would be interesting to see different results

No, No....... masking is the way to go IMO

Mine consists of a pasting table in the garage.

1st step is send the missus away on a short break.
2nd step involves tape, plastic bags and the kitchen
