hmm,, that's the hardest part,,,3 ways to go,, use frisket and cut out the lettering,,,or use a fine paint brush ,,or use a plotter( vinyl cutter)Hi
How do I copy the writing on a bike onto an image of a bike on a crash helmet ?
I am doing a photo realistic image of Barry sheene riding a 70's Suzuki, on the side of a crash helmet.
The image is about 3 inch high and 4 inch wide approx......
Hope this isn't a daft question View attachment 45769

I don't know about a paint brush ?? ( Is there a fine marker pen , I could try ?)
Will a plotter cut out words that are only 1/8th of an inch ( 2 ml). high ?
Forgot to mention in the sbs, i used a fine white posca 'paint' pen and a very very steady hand as has been said sometimes the letters are just too small for frisk or plotters.Beanpoleuk pulled this off on the license plate of the recent Escort project. I was particularly impressed with the crispness of the lettering.

Another thought is wondering if a old style fine point quill pen would work? Just dipping it in paint instead of ink is all.
Thanks Ronald, very helpfulI got away with real small lettering with a supracolor soft pencil from caran d ache but the letters were 3 mm so I am not sure if it will work for that small

Paintbrush will be the easiest. It does need to be perfect anyway.
