That is brilliant. Hope you didn't leave the rest of the bottle in your car. Missus/girlfriend might get suspicious.

Used my daughters and my wife's nail polish to do it so I don't think I'll get in trouble if I leave the nail polish in the car and the wife sees it
I think I might have to replace it though

@ Ridlbox:
Brilliant!
I did Goldie's in red (without the white) a few years ago, but by "masking off" the non-letters with grease and then spraying.
Your solution was much more elegant - and certainly a heck of a LOT easier.
Props!
