Finally found a little time to finish up the letters. Doesn’t seem likely I’ll do the lines above and below - can’t say I have the steadiest hand!

Looks good! Hope mine turns out that nice.

The paint stick wrapped tight with a T-shirt worked perfectly. I then used Qtips and a little mineral spirits to get the smears removed and clean edges.

Good luck!

Mine has held up well overall. I just looked it over and only one small spot on one letter has lost some paint, which is probably the result of a rock chip on the highway.

Just did my dad’s grill, I have already painted mine black but he wanted red.
