Roger Paint - new Billboards - what a complete hassle - I'd say one person - 20 hours at least and in the end, you may not be a happy camper. As noted above - a great tip is to outline the inside of the ridges first - I didn't do that, so a lot of extra work was needed. Of course, the perfect look would be the not end up with paint on the inside of the ridges, on the ridges or, of course, outside the ridges. The problem with Rogers paint, in my view, is that it readily comes off in sheets - in other words, entire sections of paint easily peel off when one just wants to clean up a really small section. Also, it bubbles - sort of like it's not actually sticking to the rubber. If I'm doing something wrong to casue this - please let me know.

Bottomline - what a huge hassle - I love the look of the Billboards and if this doesn't come out right I'll probably go with no paint. I'd say this - if you are a really anal Cobra owner - one that wants a perfect look - don't even attempt painting the letters on Billboards - it will not turn out perfectly in your lifetime.
