I put my coats of spray paint on, then I sanded them off with 800 grit wet sand paper, and you have to be VERY careful or you'll scuff other areas of the paint. It took me about 20 minutes to sand it all off good. Then I got a nice fat permament marker and did the lettering.. LOL. Kinda cheap, but hell.. It worked out pretty nicely! Then I put 4 coats of clear on it, and thats about it :P.
