512M etch lettering stencil

Hello,

I am looking for a template to re-etch the letterings on the 512M wheels. Does anybody know a source for getting the template? Guess someone has done it before...

Best Regards

I once made a negative template and painted it then black on my golden painted wheels and then covered with semi gloss clear paint

so you like to polish the wheels and edge all new?

 

Yes my plan would be to polish the wheels, re-etch the letters and later a new clear coating. So same procedure, as the factory did it from new.

 

then go to someone who can etch and ask him what he needs to make it so.
I did my template with photoshop.

you are sure they used clear coating? not only polished? never had such wheels in my hand, that is why I ask

 

Yes there is a clear coating on the wheels from new.!

 

Might it be worth sending a photo to a laser etching company? The downside would obviously be taking the wheels to them, but on the other hand, no mask required and it would be really accurate with CNC laser.

Let us know how it goes anyway.

best to all.

After some work put into the stencils, I was finally able to etch the freshly polished rims with the Speedline lettering and the Ferrari / rim size. Now next week acrylic lacquer will be applied and then it's back to assembling.

Here is the result.

Was it a chemical etch?
