The silver BMW logo on the spark plug cover on my 318iS needs repainting - bits have flaked off.
Any suggestions on how to re-paint the raised letters? I'd prefer to spray to get a better finish, but masking looks too tricky. Is there an easier way?

Thanks for ther advice. Been thinking, probably I'll probably use lots of thin strips of masking tape around the letters, and use a craft knife to trim flush with the raised surface.

Liquid mask might help here - used by modellers.
