I've read a few threads in this section on headstock rebuilds. I'm still not sure how people are masking the letters when repainting the access badge.
My wife suggested a watercolor liquid called mask that can be removed after painting. Does anyone have experience painting the speed dial or access badge?

I had some where I dribbled on red Testors enamel (model paint), then I neatly swabbed the badge across a flat paper towel soaked with acetone. I believe it was Bill Mayo who had done it this way as well.

I painted the whole thing red and then sanded the letters by putting the badge on a piece of sandpaper to take the paint off the letters. Progress through 400 or 600 grit and it looked OK

I have sanded off the paint on similar logos found on Shopsmith/Magna tools like Bill V has done. I believe it is the way they are originally done at the factory.
