Seems like you would rub color into the letter area, and then use a very smooth and flat roller with a thinned paint to paint the plate. I wasn't able to figure this out and I know this is a really detailed question, but you never know who knows! I was even wodering about using 2 different solvent based paints whereby one would simply bead up on the other and be easily removeable.
Many thanks again,
Jim

Jim,
A little praise from one's peers sure does brighten the day! Thanks for the compliment. I thought you did a really nice job with the Zebrawood handles.
On painting the placards, have had limited success with spraying the engraving, then using unthinned paint on a printers (hard rubber) roller. It may be a problem with my technique, works sometimes and not others.
