Re: Painting numbers.

If you want to be fancy, then get vinyl numbers. I do. Got my last set
here:

Check the rules for sizes and sets you'll need. 12" is pretty big. 
Sometimes three sets are needed.

Otherwise get some masking tape. The blue 3M stuff releases the best but 
any masking tape will do.

Shoe polish in the liquid applicator is tried-and-true. Eraseable 
markers for glass will let you put them on your windows.

Get the decals. You won't look like a newbie...in the pits. ;)
