It is possible to use vinyl lettering in reverse as a stencil .
Use the vinyl sheet the letters were cut from as a mask - you will need position the centres of some letters (e.g. 'o' ) with some care, but it can be done.
Once the stencil is in position spray with paint which has good opacity (silver, gold, black - avoid white or yellow) you need to get coverage with a minimum of build up of paint.
Make sure paint is thoroughly dry before removing vinyl stencil. A final coat of lacquer may be helpful.
Don't forget to make sure the original paint is thoroughly cleaned before applying the stencil.
