Question How to paint small lettering?

Sprayed up my TAC-5 and i want to write ALICIA along it. I experimented on one of my air rifles and to be totally honest it looked appalling. Im wondering if anyone else has added lettering to their markers? Or at least are there any nice stickers you can get?

Thanks,
Rabbit

Re: How to paint small lettering?

If it helps, I design traffic signs at my job and we cut them out of vinyl. A trick I've used is to reverse the letters so it basically makes a stick on stencil. Leaves a little bit of a residue since it's meant to adhere to metal for the life of a traffic sign but as long as you don't leave it on too long and use a little goo gone to break it up it will come right off.

If it's something small enough I can cut it out of some scrap and drop it in an envelope.

Re: How to paint small lettering?

TechT is a great company man

you have probably seen mikes videos on youtube
i personaly have not ordered one of those plates, but i have talked to many that have and they love it
most just get their call sign made up for their marker
or one of the one they have now

only reason i haven't ordered one is i dont like a badge on the marker
