Don't forget the inside and the edges. Wait for the base coat to dry. (Acrylic paint dries fast so I only waited about 15 minutes) +Dry brush the metallic paint onto the letters. Be sure to gradually layer it on in section. Make brush strokes in all directions to get a more textured look. Layer until the letters are mostly opaque (with some of the black coat showing through). +Wait until dry (again, 10-15 minutes). Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
