Two More Done..

I think you figured out the problem of bleeding when you said you didn't let the wood conditioner dry before painting. Normally wood conditioner is used to make stain less blotchy and most conditioners tell you to put the conditioner on then stain while still wet. The conditioner soaks into the end grain and softer parts of the wood and keeps too much stain from soaking in. If the conditioner is allowed to dry it will seal the grain and help prevent the paint from bleeding as bad.

Some people cut the sign, add the finish, then paint and add another coat of finish to seal. Using acrylic paint you can just wipe off and paint slopped over outside the lettering with a damp cloth as you paint.

Signs look good Barb.
