This information is from @nhcowboy28's post on this page: Glossy Black Stinger Lettering

The glossy black lettering can also be round here:

"Proper prep and allowing time to cure with this kind of paint is fine. Much more forgiving than automotive paint. Even gone through auto-touchless high pressure car wash."

Prep was minimal (since again, this isn’t automotive paint which would require significantly more effort... sanding, tack cloth, and then wet sanding after... and the badges were new).

Wiped down with rubbing alcohol.

3 light coats of adhesion promoter (20 minutes apart).

Light tack coat of paint.

4 wet (not overly saturated) coats.

All 20 minutes apart.

Allowed to dry for a few hours.

Carefully transferred indoors to cure in humidity controlled room.

Waited 6 days to install.

Like it! Also planning on painting Stinger emblem and GT emblem flat black to contrast the pearl white paint. Thinking of also creating flat black decals as an alternative
 
Looks better than I was imagining! Where did you get that "2" emblem?
The stinger or awd?

Stinger emblem was from one of the online Kia dealer parts stores
86312-J5100 kiaautopartsonline.com (chrome)

Awd from amazon
PB-Autoparts Metal Black Size 9.3x1.5cm (3.65x0.6 inches) AWD 3D Badge Decal Emblem (Matte black)
