Testor's silver with a fine camel hair brush. I used both hands and after awhile it became a Zen-like exercise. My entire world consisted of a brush tip and a raised plastic letter.

hemiken's correct, the lettering is white and the frame/edge(whatever you want to call it is silver). I used liquid paper(white out) once, just to try it. It wasn't as runny as paint and comes with it's own brush.

Not much gets past Hemiken,  :grinno:  except an occasional kangaroo!  :roflsmiley:

The outer perimeter is silver. ;)
