I'm new to routers, but I use a laser for my signs. For 2 colors I'll paint the raw material, then mask it with vinyl sign transfer tape, engrave it, spray it with color #2 then unmask the material.

Real nice, amazing what fantastic work lies beneath ordinary wood :cheers:
Here is a single color masked then I just burned the wood with the laser. Here is where I get my masking Sign Warehouse And if that doesn't work they have vinyls specifically for spray masking, or sandblast masking I haven't experimented with any of these and a rotary cutter, it might take some experimentation.
It's a Chinese CNC laser engraver, 1200x800mm cutting area. Check out the laser engravers forum here on CNCzone.
