I have done it by taping off the lettering, and by wiping off the excess powder. I don't like wiping the powder off for two reasons. First, when you wipe the powder from the letters a little bit falls onto the surrounding area and causes uneven coating around the letters. Second, you must keep in mind that the powder still has a charge to it. When you clear an area of powder the resident charge in the powder will cause the powder around the cleaned area to move, and small bits of powder will move to the clean areas of the part. This occurs because of the leftover static charge. You can actually see the powder dance into the freshly cleaned areas. I prefer to bite the bullet and tape the lettering off.
