Default Nvidia logo

I just got the Cooler Master Stacker 830 and I wanted to paint the Nvidia logo on the side of it. I tried painting a long time ago and let's just say it sucked balls, anyone have any pointers for this one cause anything would be helpful stencil, paint, and finish-wise.

You can use a layered mask technique.

Steps in order:

Primer
White
Gray
Black
Green

The only one I saw "locally" is this one;


Not the one you are looking for....

Besides the "layered mask" technique you could try to find a local airbrush shop... a collegue of mine
does all kinds of airbrush "jobs" like this.. don't know what it would cost, though...

The Cpatian has the right idea. At least imho. Im guessing that the surface you're painting on is flat. Frisket paper might not be a bad idea. Its thin and can be tough to work with but it typically results in clean, sharp lines. The logo you chose is also prettie complex. Why not practise a few times first?

if you go to your local sign shop they could probably do it up for you in vinyl. they could print the logo on a vinyl sheet which you could then wrap the panel with or make a cut vinyl sticker.
