yeah i did mine in blue ages ago for something different and basically sprayed the whole thing blue then waited for it to dry a bit then got a rag with some terps on it and rubbed the blue of to leave the white visable on the letters

I tried with a sponge but the paint ran a little. But when i did that i hadnt let the thinner dry out of the paint much so thats probably why
