In the process of lettering several pieces of Norfolk & Western equipment, 
we've found that the 1 Shot sign painters enamel works very well.  It levels 
easily and does not leave brush strokes.  They offer Deluxe Gold (as well as 
some fancier metallic gold options).  http://www.1shot.com/

We've had excellent success with vinyl stencils cut in negative and painted 
through.  You can see some examples of the results here:
