Restoring Some Horn Buttons and Engine Badges

[Mayo]

I went to the craft store today to get some felt so I could reskin my door panels, and I bought a little bottle of Testor's paint for $2.19. I bought a horn button months ago because it was nicer than mine and then bought a nicer one than the one I had bought. The only problem with them was the black lettering was faded and so was the black ring. Back when I was in high school, when ever I need to paint a really fine detail I would always use a pencil tip so I thought I'd do the same for the lettering but with a toothpick instead. That idea didn't work so I figured I'd try one more thing and it did work. I loaded some paint on the button above the lettering and took a tissue to wipe the excess off. This work out great, so then I got out a small brush and repainted the ring. While I had the brush out, I figured I might as well repaint the 292 badges I bought from Special K a long time ago. Anyhow, here are some before and after pics.
