Lettering on my Engine cover
« on: 23 May 2011, 12:20 »
Hi there.

What iv done is iv rubbed my engive cover down then sprayd it white. but when it comes to re painting the lettering (20v-Turbo) it looks quite bad due to my lack of painting skills. i was wondering if anyone knows the font of the lettering so i can have some stickers cut out so it looks the part.

thank you

It will be hard to match the spacing exactly. I masked all mine up then cut the letters out and resprayed.

or just use fine sandpaper on a straight block and sand the top of the lettering so it comes through black
