hi guys,i always see the 4 and the 32 painted red on the plenum covers. is there a number kit made for this or is it just good old fashioned paint,brush and a very steady hand? i know on my lt-1 i got an acrilyc lettering kit in red from mid-america, but i cant find anything for the z. anyone out there done this and can give me a few pointers? thanks!

I used a small brush I stole from wifey's hobby drawer and used bright red and black acrylic paint. Once it dried I put on a coat of clear just to make it sparkle and shine.
