I painted over the corvette letters let cure overnight, then used an 80 grit dremel flapper wheel chucked in my cordless drill to clean paint off the letters.

Nice job! I use an old t-shirt streched over my index finger, dip it in thinner and wipe the paint off of the letters.

You've done a very nice job and you coupe looks better because of it. I wish I had painted the brackets also, but I was afraid I would run out of paint before I finished. I used the G2 kit from Mid-America and there was plenty of paint so I will know better next time.

Great job
I like it when the brackets are painted the same color.
