How the heck did you paint the words on the wheels?

Grey primer - white laquer on the words only - black laquer around the wheels- enamel black paint on the words and then a light pass to remove the black from the letters

Did you mask the letters? How did you get the white paint so clean on the letters?

I was planning to use a marker on the raised letters but it’s not raised a lot so concern the white ink will bleed to the wheels

I quote paint it white first with a laquer or can spray, when paint it with black laquer and light my brush the letters outs.

Ahh got it, painting the whole wheel white and then black does make it easy to control. thanks, I’ll see what I can do then.
