Go with a high temp paint, there will be less of a choice in color but it will last longer...
And take you time with the prep work itll show,,, I spent about an hour and a half taping off the text and triming the tape and about 20mins painting it up ...

remember, its all in the prep work, spend some time double checking all your cuts and take your time with it the painting is the easy part...
