These pictures show the process -- 'How to tape & paint' the 'S' (LSD)

For anyone interested I have them for sale and you can PM me to get one or (more) for your projects.

Thanks,

Mo

I'm not an originality wonk but that S looks a whole lot different than the S on the original LSD I pulled from my car. Then again, so does the entire unit.

You may try to hand paint yours -- or make your own stencil.

The first picture shows the process & results for a stencil I made -- It is a BMW design and looks like this on a side-loader:

Fantastic effort, looks spot on. I used a steady hand with a tippex brush for mine, that was fun! LOL

The 'S' is definitely weighted -- meaning the top is slightly smaller than the bottom. This thread was to provide a quick read on how the stencil works.....

The lettering is outlined & there is transfer tape over the entire bit to keep the center in-place. Some have asked so I wanted clarify with a picture sent to me.
