Stampings seem to be some type of ink as originals are always translucent looking and many restored NOR cars with heavy painted ptb stamps just do not look correct. I tried many types of products before coming up with one that gave the look and it was cheap. It's a hobby water based paint that is thin and purchased at Wallmart. Practice on a piece of sheetmetal to obtain the look your after as practice is beneficial. I found after applying the product (color) to the stamp to stamp it first on a piece of sheetmetal once and then apply to cowl so the stamping has that translucent look. That's why the practice pays off.
Here is the product used and color is pretty good compared to originals also. Practice: And then to apply to cowl:

But it was an issue where a hole was being filled in by Fisher and his operator couldn't assemble. So he walked into Fisher, found the station. The guy was just wiping the excess off of his brush. How about any place but that hole - no problem. Then some manager saw him......

What stamps or should I ask who's stamps did you use? Were the rubber letters trimmed and cleaned up prior to use or did you use them as they came with the paint product noted above? Your stamps are some of the best I have seen and I was on the fence about even doing my firewall since so many look way over done or somewhat cartoonist if you know what I mean. G.

I use PERMANENT HEAVY BODY INDIA INK from the ART SUPPLY STORE with a STAMP PAD -
I found the GREEN as well as the ORANGE. Included an original for comparison... PAINT never looked correct to me... FWIW the silver car pictured was judged to have a survivor engine compartment.
