How to not paint this logo

[Cactu]

So I'm looking to paint my gtx 970 (just the graphite parts) but I want to keep the "gtx 970" writing black, so what would be the best way to paint around it?

Try to tape over the part you don't want painted. Plastidip is a good non conductive option.

Fill it with some kneading eraser or something really malleable, paint the cooler then remove the filling.

I'd rather not tape it because it's indented and paint would be imperfecr, and I'm not worried about the type of paint

Your best bet would be to paint the entire portion and go back with thinned enamel paint to flow into the embossed section to blacken the letter again.
