Does anybody know how to use UVs and shader nodes at the same time?

I just finished adding some scratches to my model, I’ve already painted on the UVs before, I am looking to paint the Aperture and Portal logo on but I am struggling with applying my UV and keeping the scratches at the same time.

Not quite sure what you need but you can create a separate UV for the logos?

Alternatively you can use a different texture coordinate output if that is what you want.
E.g. some textures use object space, some use uv space and so on

Do you know how to make stencils darker when they are painted on by the way?

not sure to understand what you want to do
maybe try a bright contrast node after the stencil?

Try this node setup:


or do the same with shader mix for shaders
Anyhow, You have to use a texture as a mask first! This is important.
in my node setup I used the alpha map of the image as a mask to hide the unwanted parts

That way you can do lots of things for example with logos:

you don’t have to use alpha map though any gray scale can be used:
