Scott I am in the model train custom paint business and have considerable experiece with dry transfers. It has been my experience that dry transfers are a very versitile form of lettering, however they need a clean surface to attatch to. So you would need to put your lettering on before the wheathering chalks. Also on wood and flat paint, One needs to rub over the lettering a rounded pencil or burnishing stick over a piece of was paper. the Pressure from the the pencil forces the lettering into the grain and makes the lettering "Grab" the surface of the model and the was paper prevents the lettering from coming up when you get done. Often times a small piece of suitiable wax paper is provided in dry transfer lettering sets. I hope this has been helpful. Sincerely James
