Question, I’ve seen some Milwaukee shells like this, but they also “dyed” the Milwaukee lettering white like the original but of course with the shell black. How was this achieved? Was it a post dye paint job? Or was this also dying but in a different way? I want to do the same but the only thing I’m hung up on is the lettering. Because even if I can paint the lettering white, it will not hold up like the rest of the shell that’s dyed black
