Too late now but I like to sand that area flat with a belt sander and 80 grit, before I paint. If you only first sand AFTER painting, the inevitable warping of the aluminum makes it tedious….and potentially dangerous to the paint….to sand off for the final look. If you pre-sand so that the letters have nice, sharp edges, you’ll find that the final sanding will be quick, easy and accurate.
Long live American manufacturing!
