What did you do to get a clean line around the edges of the letters?

 

I did it the same way I did model cars when I was a kid. Basically just slather paint in the indentation and wipe the excess off with a rag wrapped around something flat. I used a plastic spatula that you would use for shaping body filler. I also use them to apply decals. It leaves behind what is in the indentation. However, since I used a matte clear coat some residual red stayed on the clear coat. Barely noticeable but it's there. If I do them over I will use a gloss clear.

There's a thread about it on another forum but I don't remember which one.

 

Thanks! I really like the look. The solid red vent bezels are too much for my liking. I will likely give this a shot.

 

You're welcome. Post up a pic when you're done.
