How do I touch up Ferrari lettering on gas cap/ oil filler cap?

Go to JoAnns Fabric and look for enamel paint about $6 for 1oz

 

Im assuming this is embossed lettering that you are painting in the embossed area?

personally I use the end of a toothpick or dental pick and dot it on using small amounts of paint and go slow

 

I have used an Elmer's Painters pin paint tube that is in the Walmart crafts section. It comes with a fine, medium, or large tip. You buy the tip size you want, like an ink pen.

It is about the size of a Magic Marker or Sharpee.

You push down on the tip and it releases some paint onto to the tip.

I have used black and white paint for different emblems, gas caps, etc.

You may have to rub the excess paint off if you get too much paint on whatever you're painting.

The fine tip worked best for me for really small lettering.

Best regards,

Nice job, looks great

 

Now Shoot it with a coat of Clear Coat or a coating like Optimum Gloss Coat to protect it for the long haul.

Nice result.

 

congrats looks great!

 

I have used Gloss Coat but not on a Ferrari, I don't own one yet.

I used it on my son's Subaru that I want to stay looking great even if he is not gentle with it. I purchased the car new in July of 2012 and Applied Opti Coat 2.0. In May of 2015 I polished the car and applied Gloss Coat. The stuff protects well, and wears like Iron.

For future reference. Just go to the hobby shop get a small vial of your paint color of choice (oil base). Slather it into the recessed letters. Let it sit for a few seconds and then quickly swipe across the lettering with a paper shop towel soaked in paint thinner. Have the paper towel tight to your finger so it rides across the surface. The paint thinner obviously removes the excess paint, but also collects a little in the lettering and fresh paint and self levels the new paint.
