Default Letter Kit

These are adhesive letters, sold by Ecklers Corvette, P/N 35943, $24.99. They came on my car from previous owner.

Regards,
John

use a brush, one of those little brushes you buy at a craft store, like your 4th grader needs for art class.

That is the best way to paint letters on an engine in my experience.

That's how I did mine. Just have to make sure they are grease and oil free.
