If you always had a problem color between the line you might not want to try it. No really it's not that hard. Just get the tip to dampen with paint and go over with light touch. Don't depress the tip while going over the raised area. You will be a master before you know it.
couldn't use flash,sorry.

Wow, that looks great! Next week should get the paint pen. Got time to practice.

Prior to the pens we had to use tiny little model paint brushes - sometimes with some of the bristles cut off. Real PIA. Paint pens are so great.

That is exactly what I was going to do. Get the testers paint out. Glad someone knows a better way. Helps a whole bunch.

I think Testors also sells different color paint sticks as well. Silver and White are what you need.
Got mine 20 + years ago.

Is it silver, or chrome. Some of it looks chrome.

I have used tooth picks for years with good results.

Same here.

How does one use toothpicks? My coloring isn't that good.

I dab a little bit on a nice pointy round toothpick, wipe some off so there is no pooling of paint in the lettering voids, then slowly "drag" the paint over the raised lettering. You need the patience of Jobe no matter how you do this. Slow and steady is the name of the game here.
