Well, I just did two.
Honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal.
I have a lot of model paint around and am used to doing detail.
Some blue enamel paint ( I use 1/3 ounce model paint from a hobby store,
but in a pinch use spray paint into a cup and let it sit while the solvent evaporates and it thickens).
Brushed it in without concern for the letters or design.
After getting the blue to run into and fill the crevices,
I rub across the top to remove any paint from the raised design.
I used tissue paper, and a cotton swab and had good results.
On another emblem I let it dry completely and then used an X-acto knife
(or razor blade would do) and scraped off the dried paint from the raised letters.
The emblem is off the car for this work, it needs to be in hand and horizontal.
After it was all done and looking good the last thing was to spray it with clear enamel (purchased from Home Depot).
Several coats of clear I figured would protect the emblem from wind and wear.
So far, only several thousand miles on the one pictured.
