Painted my engine covers

[Jim Bronson]

I just found this video to do letters

I think that's the way to go. I can do one letter at a time with no fuss. I just need to skip my morning coffee. I'm thinking red with black lettering for my race red car. I picked up a can of Duplicolor Ford red and a can of primer at O'reilly yesterday. I think I can actually do this.

Maybe buy a ruby red touch-up pen and drill a tiny hole in it for the syringe.
