Ordered a decal set from my ford dealer and installed the hood decal. It looked crappy! Just did'nt cover the raised letters enough I thought. I knew I should be able to paint it but how? I rolled a tennis ball across an old licence plate as a sample but what a mess, not on my new paint job, I worked too hard. So I started to order a paint mask set then thought why can't I make my own. Got some printing paper, put it over the letters, rubbed my finger in grafite and rubbed over the letters real good. Walla, a good imprint of the script. Then I carfully cut out the letters with a very small razor knife, rubbed vasoline on the back so it would stick and spray painted it. After removing the mask all I had to do was to touch it up with an artist brush. I could'nt believe how good it came out. Just passing on what thought was a good idea.
