Looks good. I painted mine black, including the brackets, with yellow lettering. The yellow brackets look good, just not the look I was after.

I almost did that, because I just wanted something "subtle" because there is plenty of YELLOW on there already... LOL The letters just weren't quite enough for me.

All done... Thanks for all the compliments!
