Since its vectorized I think you should be able to edit accordingly. .

once the mpc is painted how did you plan to apply this template?

cut the characters out with an exacto?


when I painted my MPC- I put a piece of paper behind it to make my self a template

im just going to cut out the letters with an exacto and lay in on the cover and paint the lettering on that way

like a stencil

thier on there with clear tape labels right now

give me ideas because I planned to finish mine this weekend.

hey hypes, i dunno this cutting out letter stuff is hard but a nice challenge.
i let myself do a silkscreen print on the metal,
so the font will appear super clean !

it costs a bit more than painting it but want to have it tight

I have never silk screened anything but a t-shirt before

I am looking it up now

Do you have any quick instructions that u can just throw at me?

spray your mpc the color you want the letters tobe, then put on those rub on letters hypes posted, then spray the mpc the color you want it to be and take the letters... BAMM

I painted mine with auto paint that I bought at wallyworld (walmart)

I let it dry for about 3 hours before even touching it


I put 3 coats on - one every half hour

BE CAREFUL taking it apart

BE Focused when painting

DO NOT RUSH

those are my tips. fallow them or deal with the crappy result.

I have painted mine 3 times , ha

+ sparq suggests it voids the warranty so do it at your own risk.
