Zoob, could you post a pic and tell what 'white' you used and your technique??? I've used tire white (for the raised white letters) but it's not quite 'filling', and when I've tried white paint, it smears and when I try to wipe the excess away, it wipes it all away...

My Colt Gold Cup has partially filled gold letters, and it looks nice, but the PO didn't do all the lettering and I haven't found anyone who has had success with it...
