Red White & Blue Sattelite/GTX emblem repainting

Has anyone refinished there red white and blue emblems and if so what is the best method? Anyone have any experience..I was thinking brush on model paint or maybe colored tape?

Got a syringe? you'll be amazed how well it works... I set up a jig that will hold the area of the emblem I'm painting level, pull the color of the hour in the syringe & start painting... You can draw the paint around the cracks & crevices very precisely then float the center field.... I learned this trick touring a factory that makes emblems for vintage cars....

BTW If you can sneak the emblem into the oven @ 140 degrees for 15-20 minutes... Actually a toaster oven in the shop might be the ticket..

I repainted the the rear emblem on a 63 sport fury trunklid and used model paints and a brush. Took a while to tape it, scuff it with a scuff pad, wipe it and paint it. I'd say the syringe would probably work a little better for the hard to reach spots than a brush.

Went to the hobby store and found what I thought to be the best match. Then taped off each color one at a time and sprayed it using an airbrush. You could spray it from the can since model paint has a finer nozzle than full size cans. Then taped of the next color, sprayed it, and finally the third. Instead of trying to tape off the border I just painted it and then used laquer thinner to wipe it off.
