For NONchrome:
Paint the top of the valve cover and the script the color that u want the script to be when finished. LET IT DRY for about a week so that it is NOT SOFT PAINT.
Next, paint the entire valve cover the other colr u want it to be and use a tounge depressor or other flat piece of wood like instrument wrapped with a cloth and dipped in thinner to rub over the top of the script removing the wet paint after each coat. DOn't let the stick and cloth become too moist with thinner nor too caked up with wiped off paint. Experiemnt wit hthe cloth and get the right spongyness to the set up for wiping. Its been several years since i've done this but if i remeber rite i used a flannel shirt cloth wrapped about 3 thicknesses around the sucker stick and kept it only damp with thinner by wrapping it in a wet rag between uses.
