here is a crazy way but it works and last!

Spray paint

http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/

Cut the letters but don't weed, then fade with the spray paint, let dry and weed. I even taped and installed after an hour of drying.

Here is the article that I saw that gave me the idea to try it.

That's a great idea, I'm gonna have to try that.

That is awesome.  Are you using the krylon with basic 651 or similar vinyl?
