to make things easier you can just leave the letters un-taped, after paint has dried, take 400 grit wet/dry paper and a sanding block and wet sand the letters. will remove all the paint off of them and leave you with a really nice brushed finish with sharp clean edges around the letters.
 
I'll take the wet sanding into consideration when/if i decide to paint my valve cover. Btw Op, that valve cover's beautiful.
 
no problem. I'm curious. What made you choose red?

i was in too big of a hurry to wait for black to come in. the store i went to was out so i went with red...its nothing a little elbow grease wont remove if i want to do it different later.
 
shoulda gone purple. i painted mine with plane old duplicolor. still looks like new months later.
 
Looks good.
I like the idea with the sanding block. I never woulda thought of that.
Mine was repainted using flat BBQ paint. Still looks good for being done 3 years ago.
 
where did you get that type of red b/c i tried to paint my but the red that i used was not a reeal red one it end up lihe orange,
