The professional painters deserve what they charge if you do not have the time or patience. I spray painted my 29 Michigan plate first in gloss black. Then hand painted the numbers with a good quality artist brush the width of the letters. I also built a floating hand rest 1/4" over the plate large enough to allow me to move the plate around and keep my hand steady. You can't really tell from a distance.
