Finished painting the set

I've decided on using the edding 4200 series on this run. I had to go over twice to get a good covering. Next time I'll try nailpolish though, since the color is still removable with Isopropanol, but tougher than with the 300 series.

You could also try a few passes of UV curing soldermask. Laser cut stencils might work fine for selectively blocking the UV.

interesting idea :) I want to get something that's more robust against isopropyl.

Are you using PCB stencils for this?

nopes, just selling them as kits or handsolder them. it's just two LEDs, a switch, battery holder and the clip...

I mean stencils for painting.

ahhh, that would have been a good idea actually. I tried not to leave the white pads with the pen, but on the black it wasn't that bad. I've hit gold once or twice but was able to remove it.
