How do you guys get such good results with lettering on your streets and buildings? I need to write STOP on my street and the yellow and white lines going down the street. How do you guys do it?

I use an airbrush and use a mask that I cut out with an X-acto blade. I also spray some spray adhesive on the back lightly to hold it on the surface without sticking it down permanently. A good trick is to stick it to your jeans or other cloth to get rid of some of the tack.

Here are some shots of a parking lot and streets I airbrushed the lines onto and also the building sign is airbrushed too.
