[oletrucks] dumb painting technique question

I managed to buy a 1956 TN state license plate, the last year that they were 
shaped like the state. . .after that they were plain old rectangles like 
everyone else's.

This one was redone but it was painted orange with white letters--U of TN 
colors--instead of the black with white letters that it's supposed to have 
for 1956.

The black is easy, but how do I paint the raised letters, numbers, and 
characters so that they have the original effect and not have it look 
hand-painted?  And I would think a roller would give it ragged edges. . .

Any suggestions?

I'm still looking for other 1956 TN plates but in the mean time intend to 
"fix" this one.

Thanks,
