get red high temp paint.. put some chapstick on the lettering. then paint away... use an exacto to help peel away the lettering, should be easy due to the chapstick... looks good IMHO...

No need to use high temp paint. Also no need to rub anything on the lettering. Clean it and prime it first. Then paint it up. Clear coat it and then use a razor blade to remove the paint off the lettering. Will look 10x's better the smearing something on the lettering and you will actually get paint on the sides of the letters, like it should be. It will look factory if you select the correct color. High temp paint tends to be too thick, and will remove the wrinkle finish from the cover. Thin coats of normal paint will duplicate the Honda finish almost exactly.

Great. I've seen some of them that look OEM.
