Hi Dave. I just tried your method and it turned out beautifully. Thanks mate! It was a little tedious, slowly cleaning up each letter, but the end result was smick! Thanks again.
Many Thanks! I wanted to paint the Logo of my DeWalt radio, well, not very perfect as the new one but really very beautiful result! I started with the yellow, clear, and today the black. For the black i used black water colour and a small paint brush and not a black spray can, the clear on the yellow needs one month to get dry well, also the thinner on 1K clear can be little risky . So, i did it carefully with the brush, it took me around half an hour but that's ok, I cleaned carefully my small mistakes with a soft sanding pad (light gray), and Voila! Really Nice! One thin lay of clear now and is done.
Somewhere between last year's uploads and this year's uploads would make for a perfect 2019 year. I miss your content volume, but can understand being busy. Merry Christmas!
Is that a form of wax, similar to using oil so that paint does not stick? Great idea. Painters may find Chapstick or other oils to cause an unwanted reaction with paint and clear.
Awsome video this is what I am doing to my 2jz spark plug cover, except I laid copper then am spraying midnight purple and gonna expose the copper color.
Dave, can you do a tutorial on spraying things like Rear spoilers, front lips or sideskirts? always wondered how to hang and paint a spoiler or body kit part evenly? (rear spoilers particularly) great vid thanks mate!
how much time (for drying time) between spraying black overlay and removing black on raised letters with thinner? Are you heat/baking any of these covers or just drying them in ambient room temp in booth?
I’ve got some raised letters that I need to keep chrome. Would this be the same process just rub letters with paint thinner after primer/paint/clear? Will it hurt the chrome at all?
Will this method work with fresh 3-D printed ABS? (I use the same style ABS as most car parts to ensure durability). I ask due to, i want my letters to "pop" on the parts i just made and have never tried doing such an intricate paint scheme.
Really great video. Can I ask what type of paint thinner you used for the lettering reveal? I’m not in an English speaking country so the chemical name would be great! Thanks
hey there. exactly which spray paint cans which you recommend using here that are sold on your website? it’s all a bit confusing because there are so many different types. which spray cans exactly? if i wanted to go with black engine cover with white raised letters with a clear coat obviously? thanks
Hi im going to try and paint the sprocket cover plate in black and do the letters in gold, any advice on this as the letters are inverted cheers for any advice.
Will this technique work on metal parts also. I have a Bridgeport mill and On the front of the machine there is this nice Bridgeport raised lettering inside of an oval circle. The entire part is chrome or polished aluminum . My old machine has the same logo but the the background behind the letters are painted black making the letters really pop out.. I want to make my new machine look like this.
Looks great Have you got a way of getting a two tone on a car with one being a gloss 2 pac clear over base and one being a matt clear over a base? Without getting a big ugly edge?
This is the first I've heard of 2K clear. Does that imply that it's heat resistant to 2000 degrees? Fabulous tutorial, though. Many good techniques with broad application for many painted parts. Especially helpful were the summary explanations at the end and how the same techniques can be used with spray can products.
the 2K means it is a 2 part paint - it has a hardener that makes it much more durable than typical 1K (1 part) paint - auto paint is 2K which is why it is as durable as it is. Depending on the clear coat used it will be resistant to X temperature but you'd get that from the TDS (tech sheet) on the 2k clear you use.
Thanks for the tutorial. Probably one of the best I have run across. Very professional results.
Love your videos been watching them for few years now use it as a guide for my own projects keep making videos amazing painter
I was using plastic wrap cutting with an exacto knife and the result was awful. This is a genius method. Thank you!
Hi Dave. I just tried your method and it turned out beautifully. Thanks mate! It was a little tedious, slowly cleaning up each letter, but the end result was smick! Thanks again.
Saved as well! Thanks for all the tutorials this year!
Definitely gonna use this technique!! I’ve actually got some engine covers to paint soon too!

great video mate I'm saving this one on my playlist. thank you!

Dave, that engine cover turned out a treat. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Well done mate .great job and vid...you make it look easy ...
Absolutely brilliant. Learn something new everyday
This was a great video. I wanted to restore an emblem with raised lettering and if I hadn't seen this vid I'd STILL be trying to mask it all. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to share.awesome time saver on badges.👍
Awesome man! Merry Christmas
Just about to paint this exact engine cover.. Thank you so much!!
I m watching your videos long time now.You have helped me a lot.You are great.Greetings from Greece.

Hello my friend.
What about colour filing in carved lettering?
Any ideas?
Always something new for me . Thx
It's like a Guinness commercial....BRILLIANT!!
Work smarter, not harder! Nicely done!
Wow that's looking amazing!
Dude.. So simple it's genius!
Excellent tip Dave! 🎅🏻🎄🍻🎉👍🏻
Never ever ever would I have figured that out, brilliant.
What a great job nice trick 👍
Legend! Exactly what I was looking for.
That turned out great!
Holy crap! That looks awnsome!
Great Video, Have not used that method before, thanks.
Awesome. I use Chapstick on the raised letters after they are painted then remove with Q-Tip. Great Job.
Is that a form of wax, similar to using oil so that paint does not stick? Great idea. Painters may find Chapstick or other oils to cause an unwanted reaction with paint and clear.
Great video, thank you.
Very cool trick. Thanks.
Nice tip I thought he was gonna tape over the letters but this method is much better
Wow, i never would of thought that was the way to do it. You have a new subscriber, i cant wait to catch up on some of your Videos.
The Aardvark thanks mate.
Awsome video this is what I am doing to my 2jz spark plug cover, except I laid copper then am spraying midnight purple and gonna expose the copper color.

That's awesome thanks mate.
Genius idea!
Great video thanks!
Brilliant!!! Thank you
Seriously nice.
that is killer dude. thanks!
I have sinked lettering so I need to reverse painting order but thanks for uploading this, I got the idea from it.
This is magic!
Nice job!
Dave, can you do a tutorial on spraying things like Rear spoilers, front lips or sideskirts? always wondered how to hang and paint a spoiler or body kit part evenly? (rear spoilers particularly) great vid thanks mate!
Very clever ,cheers
dude this is awesome
God bless,happy holidays.ox
awesome video
Brilliant!
Like the new look LOGO..
That's real neat.
Beautiful
Brilliant 👍🏻
Wow thank you mate
Dave, Would you rather paint plastics with the clear method or the high build primer? This looks much easier.
wow. nice trick
Nice and clean looks really gud...you think this technique would work on two tone rims
Very cool, thanks doing some lettering on a motorcycle plastic
this stuff is brilliant ! how on earth does one come up with this
Great job !!! The 2k clean before painting the base black, is a primer or varnish?
Perfect
how much time (for drying time) between spraying black overlay and removing black on raised letters with thinner? Are you heat/baking any of these covers or just drying them in ambient room temp in booth?
Do you have to sand the raised letters before applying the second color? Thanks.
Great video mate....Can you tell me what paint clear do you use? From the Gold Coast
Do you use the paint thinner on the raised lettering right after you spray a coat without drying or after you’ve done all (3) coats and it being dry?
Herrlich, danke
I’ve got some raised letters that I need to keep chrome. Would this be the same process just rub letters with paint thinner after primer/paint/clear? Will it hurt the chrome at all?

Great video, one quick question! When you take the black off the raised area is the black still wet or have you let it dry? Cheers
So are all 2K clear heat resistant? and what about the base colours, do they need to be heat resistant too?
Really great video. Can I ask what type of paint thinner you used for the lettering reveal? I’m not in an English speaking country so the chemical name would be great! Thanks
hey there. exactly which spray paint cans which you recommend using here that are sold on your website? it’s all a bit confusing because there are so many different types. which spray cans exactly? if i wanted to go with black engine cover with white raised letters with a clear coat obviously? thanks
Thanks.
Make sure you have the right grit of sandpaper. Too gritty will leave marks. Make sure to remember about the solvent resistant paint.
When i wet side the valve cover for my top paint, do I also wet sand letter or just surrounding areas
awesome
Great Job! Do you see any problems with using this method over MDF?Cheers,
Nice, will this type paint work on steel valve covers? Seems to me I need high temp engine paint?
Hi im going to try and paint the sprocket cover plate in black and do the letters in gold, any advice on this as the letters are inverted cheers for any advice.
Great
Can you do this over a aluminum valve cover?
Nice
Wicked!
Did you rub down inbetween all the letters before the black coat? Or just around the letters?
Might be a stupid question, but you let the paint dry completely before going at it with the paint stripper right?
Will this technique work on metal parts also. I have a Bridgeport mill and On the front of the machine there is this nice Bridgeport raised lettering inside of an oval circle. The entire part is chrome or polished aluminum . My old machine has the same logo but the the background behind the letters are painted black making the letters really pop out.. I want to make my new machine look like this.
This is good if you have a spray gun wasting clear and base coat system. But what about spray can?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Looks great
Have you got a way of getting a two tone on a car with one being a gloss 2 pac clear over base and one being a matt clear over a base? Without getting a big ugly edge?
Loco Fab I want to try that.
I need to know what final clear you used!! Did you add the sparkles or buy it pre made?
Great video! Did you let the top color dry before wiping it off with thinner?
sed6 yes dry overnight.
This is the first I've heard of 2K clear. Does that imply that it's heat resistant to 2000 degrees? Fabulous tutorial, though. Many good techniques with broad application for many painted parts.

Can you use this method on brake calipers? Got some Subaru sumitomo calipers I want to do gloss black with gold lettering.
Nicholas Croft sure can. Use the exact same method
