i think you put some kind of oil? that wont let paint stick to it, instead of masking tape it....??? or something like that i read from other thread...if i happen to bump in to that thread, ill let you know...

when i painted mine i just painted the whole thing and just sanded/polished the Vtec with a sander.

hahaha actually, in that thread, it also talk about how it would be easier to paint everything including letters. then you mask off AROUND the letters. and then you sand down the letters with sanding block...

that will be easier imo....much faster too....

haha all i did was peel the paint off the lettering with my fingernail
