I think it should be possible to paint the silver first then black top coat, then sand back the lettering to reveal the silver.

Never done it but that should give you a better edge than masking.

That's the way I'd do it, just go really light with the wet and dry afterwards.

Exactly as Ian said, just be careful when sanding back the letters as its easy to go to far

4000 at a guess


the mentioned idea is probs the easiest/best but you could blue tack the letters after painting and then paint the rest, remove the blue tack and wa-la!

Tom done mine a different colour. Pretty sure he painted the writing first waited for it to dry and finished it. He then painted over whole thing. Check though, or just post to
Him like I did to get it perfect lol
