Not the main cam cover I'm fine with that, but the recessed lettering, which I want a contrasting colour. Is the only option a tiny paint brush?





An example-




I've done a couple before, but they had raised lettering & far easier.

I've never found an easier method than a paint brush and it's way quicker and neater than you would think as all you're really doing is filling up the recess with paint not actually painting the letters.

Little brush, just keep adding paint in there until it's all covered and just wipe any excess off of the top.

Looks like most people use a syringe or small brush.
