At a previous job at an old sign company... owner in his 70's taught me all kinds of tricks. One way that he did huge letters was to draw them out on white sheets of paper, then put the sheet of paper on a metal surfaced table that's grounded, next use a tool similar to a soldering iron would burn small holes wherever you touched it to the surface of the paper. After you're done you'd tape your paper to the surface of what you want to paint. Then using a bag of chalk dust or charcoal dust you'd dab all around your drawing, remove the paper and you have a light dusting of where your lines need to go. Hand paint them in and then fill.
Done...
