Next carefully remove the vinyl masking. For best results, try to remove masking at the point when paint has not set up too firm, but is dry enough to remove mask without smearing.
The remaining colors, outlines, highlights and borders are put in by hand.
A few high lights and shades are brushed in to pop the letters out a little more.
Finished Sign
If I do more signs of this kind I will probably finish it off with a coat of satin clear to kill the gloss of the bulletin and lettering enamels. Or maybe use a flat finish on the background colors.

The logo is OK for a customer design. Her design consisted of just the script caps, overlapping as they are, and the stylized flame. Lower case script just did not work well with the design, so I used the all upper case alphabet in their place. The font is Fancy Pants from Nick's Fonts (nicksfonts.com). The Wood Graining Tool can be purchased from most paint stores who offer Faux Painting Supplies.
