Honestly, I'll most likely paint the lettering on mine with a brush. We all know how the factory silver on the lettering likes to wear off over time, so I redid that silver lettering on my engine cover, with a brush, and it turned out great. Plus, the black, for the lettering, should be easier to lay than silver.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I may paint mine red or white to help keep with the theme I'm going for. I also am getting an STB soon, which will get painted as well.
