Good morning Paul,

Well, I have to admit, it took me a couple of tries to get it right. In the end, I just thinned the paint (really thin) and let it spread out with a little help from gravity, a wire, and a small artist brush. I applied the paint with an eye dropper and the wire by just dipping it in the paint like a brush. All the printing in the name plate is raised. After painting I put it in the oven to bake dry. And then, the next day I just used a little lacquer thinner and a rag to polish off the top of the letters.

Well, it came out amazing. I was hoping you found an easy way, lol! Those little letters under "WAYNE" must of been just a real pain to do. Thanks for sharing. - P


Actually, not bad once I got my process refined. But you are correct, they required a little more attention.


Randy
