Painting VC Letters

[Ander]

Any ideas what I should use to paint the letters black on my VC?

[accordztech]

i used that textured paint and was to lazy to cover the letters.

Honestly it looks wayyyy cooler with the letters painted.

[Ander]

Yeah, I did the same thing.

Now I want to paint the letters black. I just don't know what to use to do it.

Go with model paint. The temps on the top of the VC really aren't that high. My entire VC (and my SRI) is done with model spray paint and I haven't had any problems with it at all.

[Ander]

And just tape the hell outta the area around it?

I'd use a brush and bottle. They also sell a liquid mask that you can use instead of tape.

[Ander]

Hm, liquid mask? Sounds awesome. I'm gunna have to look into that.

Paint the vc the letter color first then tape off the letters and spray with th vc color. Doing it the other way would be a bitch. All you'll need is a sharp exacto knife and some quailty painters tape. You could posably use fine line to make it a little easier but it would cost more.

Well I already painted the vc so that won't really work lol.

I would suggest a brush too...

can't go wrong and you don't have to worry about taping anything off

Not a bad idea. I gotta try and find some of that.

I had my old vc powdercoated wrinkle red. Then, I took some high-temp duplicolor black that I had and sprayed it into a cup. Next, I used a q-tip to brush the letters black. A steady hand is all you need.
