Leave the lettering unpainted,

If you leave it polished it will look much better.

I also like the look of the polished letters but everyone's got their own taste.

i bought it from autozone.

It's called "Engine Enamel" made by Duplicolor. it has ceramic in it too. the color i uesd was "cast cost iron" and its a nice gunmetal w/ little flakes in it. in the picture, it looks like barf green.
