If your too scared to damage the paint by sanding the letters after you paint (which you wont) you can always sand the letters before you paint and then apply PVA gluee over the letters with a paint brush in a mildly thick coat. Once you have painted the glue will just peel straight off!
This is the easiest way to leave the lettering unpainted. dont have to sand letters off after painting and then scratch the paint or whatever.
The Aqadhere glue (PVA) has a strong surface tension so does not flow all over the place but goes right to the edges of the metal lettering giving the cleanest possible lines. apply with a matchstick wait to dry, paint and peel off (that is the fun part cos if you are careful you can keep the coloured letters...)

How did you keep the VTEC sign and stuff from being coated?
Been covered heaps.. you can just spray it.. then after use a sanding block and fine grit sand paper to sand off the paint from the letters as they are elevated from the cover itself.. thats the easiest way IMO
