Does a product like this exist? Namely you paint an object, spray on a mask and let it dry, then machine the object THRU the masking, then paint the parts you machined and then remove the masking.
The reason I'm asking is because that's the only way I can figure that old aircraft instrument panels were made as the lettering is painted at the same level as the rest of the panel. It as if the paint filled in the engraved lettering but didn't bleed over the rest of the panel.
Is there an easier way I'm not seeing here? I really am a noob here. I want to make an Apollo era command module dashboard you see.
