BarryMClark Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 The inlay is MOP and am painting solid black in nitro based lacquer. How best to paint so it is tight to the logo with out over spraying? Would applying silicone gel to the logo work or will it pull up the surrounding paint too? Thanks for the help!

WezV Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 not sure if you have done this yet or not but i would steer well clear of the silicone, its asking for trouble carefully cut masking tape followed by a little tidy up with scrapers afterwards would be my approach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
