If I ever need to paint raised letters on a valve cover or such, here's my plan. Don't know if it would work, but...

Paint the entire cover in the color you want for the raised letters. Paint it again, the color you want for the rest of the cover. Carefully rub off the second coat of paint with a piece of emery cloth attached to a suitable flat sanding block, revealing the other color underneath. Polish with low grit rubbing compound to get the paint to shine.


That is basically how we do it, but we roll overspray mask across the letters before the second color. Then we can buff the entire part, and the letters come right through. Just be sure to use a firm roller for the overspray mask.

Cheers,

Tom
