Looks great Sam!

I polished my letters up with wet and dry before painting, then when the paint was dry, masked around the letters, shaved the paint off with a blade and sand again very carefully with wet & dry using a sanding block.

Try finishing it off with a sanding block Sam and see how it goes. I would strongly recommend masking around the letters though or you might catch the fresh paint.

For those that want a guide, how I did mine is here http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/body-wo ... t3256.html
