Polishing ypvs lettering

[antos]

Guys any tips on best and quickest way to polish up the ypvs lettering on cylinder head after it's been sprayed black? Thanks

Wet & dry paper and sanding board/block.
Always keep paper wet. Have a bucket with water and small amount of detergent mixed in close by.

I would start with 180-240 grit to remove top layers of paint.

Once the bare aluminium starts showing move up to 320 grit until all aluminium is exposed.

Then use 400,800,then 1200 for a nice finish.
You could use 2000 grit for a mirror finish, but in my opinion, it wouldn't look right that shiny.

Rinse paper in bucket regularly.

Depending on desired finish either rub backward and forward, or use circular/figure 8 movement.

For future reference

What I do is polish it before spraying
Then it's easier to get back once sprayed

Damn it I never even thought of that matt😔 I did as you suggested on the wheel rims before I sprayed them, so I know that's the right way .doh 😊
