i did this the other day to my spare cover.
just thought i would add some input. i used similar steps.
stripped the paint, gave it a sand, and then decided not to use primer the second time i did it.
i found the primer i bought from autobarn didnt take the heat well, so started again, and used blue engine enamel, without a layer of primer. i was a bit iffy about the paint sticking and taking the heat but its worked well for me.
i did about three coats, and then just sanded the letters, and this is my finished product. this photo was taken before i had sanded the honda down the bottom.
i just used masking tape to cover the middle as i didnt worry about painting that bit as the cover will cover it, but personal preference.
rep points if worth it.. just wanted to provide what i did, and what i thought worked well.. since i tried primer then paint, and then just paint. oh and i decided to do blue not red.. sorry.
