I used a clean nail and dipped it in paint and ran it along the lettering, it worked a treat and wiped off any excess to give a clean finish.  :daumenhoch:

I'd advise testing an unseen section of the paint beforehand to see how it's going to turn out.  They look fine as they are IMO.  Either that or deploy the bandsaw.   :LolLolLolLol: :-*
