Overspray about 3/8 of an inch or so around the letters very light at the outer edge and progressively more toward the letters. It sands off pretty easy, I would guess an hour or so of hand sanding.

Use a gun like this. http://www.devilbiss.com/products/sp...guns/air-spray

Kind of spendy at $300 without a cup, very ergonomic for painting the letters. The key to it is gun set up.
I suppose the newer gravity feed touch up guns would work too, the trigger on the devilbiss is like pointing your finger...easy to control.
