Use a toothpick or cotton bud to roll the enamel over the lettering . Matt shades look good on plain alum.. Cool thing is you can apply different colours at same time without masking/waining for prev layer to dry.. I don't use pnp ...try kodak glossy ink jet photo paper , but printed in a lazer printer...no prob with edges , and a pack is huge enough to allow plenty of experimentation and wastage.. ..rock on.
