Plasticote or Plastidip advice please

[Jimbob]

Hi folks I need some advice.

My wheels are Team Dynamics black with lettering round them that is sunk into the metal.
I tried painting the lettering with white paint but can't get it neat enough.
Could I fill it level with Plastisomething and get a neat job?
Any other ideas also welcome.

Cheers

Pay someone to do it? or find a volunteer with a steadier hand.

Try covering the area over with masking tape and then cut out the area of the lettering with a craft knife. Then paint and allow to dry before carefully removing the masking tape.

I wouldnt do that as you would be cutting the paint as well with a craft knife which could lead to peeling

I've done this on Marchesini motorcycle wheels when changing the colour i milled the design of the original stickers into the rims and inlayed the paint. You need a fresh blade in the knife and only use light pressure to cut into the area of each letter. it's not a job to be rushed, just take your time.

Funny Cyclops - they were white and I had them powder coated black!
Only want white letters - as I'm sure you well know!

That was why I suggested it

Did my TSW inverted lettering on the wheels, with warmed up red plasticine (Yep) and a credit card
Looks good- removable too

Now there's an idea! How long did it last?

Surely you could gloss coat over the top and it would last longer?

Have a look here. I think you should be able to see it, Jake did it on his. Says a couple of posts underneath how he did it

I may try again. I have some white Hammerite.
Maybe if I leave it to dry a bit first then wipe it?

Will let you know, but no probs ATM
Any coating over the plasticine may make it more difficult to remove
Like reversible mods me
