Default Re: Lettering on a valve cover???

When I'm doing letters I polish, clean...clean again. Then I clean a little bit more. Then I tape off the letters and coat the work piece. When it's all done I remove the tape. When taping the letters I just use wide tape and cut out the letters with an exacto knife. It does take a long time so make sure if you're charging for the job that you add extra labor time for masking. Be very careful to avoid too much build up around the letters.
