Not bad for a first try, but yes, the choppiness shows. The trick is to relax and do the edge in a long steady stroke, with the hand supported if need be. If the piece can be paid flat, like a tailgate or an individual sign-plate, then even better. If you go slightly over the lines, that is fine. If you go way over, or (shudder) get a run, then you can always put red over top of the mistakes later.



Paint is not a decal, and the numbering or lettering can be a little wider or thinner in spots. Nobody will notice, or those that do will appreciate the hand painting.
