Nice job keeping the turning going 'in the right direction' - aligned with the letter. But reflective "gold leaf" isn't new... been doing it for at least 10 years or more.
No problem Allen, see attached. Nothing new about reinventing something, make what you have work for you. In these photos I opted not to align the engine turn within the letters and the client was fine with that since they were not matching any other vehicle.
Printed with my Mutoh on 3M's 860cr White with gloss overlaminate, even the pinstripe.
