PokeJoe posted:Quoting myself from the art thread I've never painted raised lettering, but i fell down a rabbit hole just now searching for how to detail raised lettering on castings. That corner of the internet seems to be populated with mostly people restoring vintage machinery. The surface looks pretty extensively pitted from rust and that may make it more difficult to use the roller/blotting method, harder to adhere a stencil, or harder to use a brush. So in this case, maybe a paint marker would be best? Good luck and maybe someone with any actual experience has practical advice.

PokeJoe posted:I ended up making a tiny blotter thing and it worked way better than any of the other methods I tried. i just took some of the end off of a cottom swab and made a little cotton pad, then folded some old t-shirt material over and rubber banded it around a dowel rod. Looks pretty good considering the condition of the metal! good luck drawing the tick marks somehow
