What's the best way to paint the engine cover/letters? I would assume spray the majority with the letters/numbers done by hand?

this, and i think with engine enamel or a high temp paint just incase, it shouldn't get too hot anyways, I would take your time taping everything off so you only have to do it once!

You can also just spray the whole thing and then buy vinyl for the letters.

I think I'm going to do that, too. I've been talking with Mike @ Milzy and I'm going to get the 65mm TB and the ported UIM & LIMs probably in the spring (so might as well dress 'em up, too). Nice thing is he's only about a half hour drive from my house since I'm seriously considering doing the "race block" from them and beefing up the trans and doing their turbo.
