Repainting White Recessed Lettering on 64 Valiant Dash Bezels

Any ideas on how to repaint the white on the black dash bezels (heater-fan- def, etc.)?

After cleaning, I was thinking of taping off everything except the small section where the lettering remains and spraying with a can of white paint, then immediately wiping the excess area with the appropriate paint remover to clean up the undesired over spray.

Or, I could try to use a toothpick and lay the white paint into the bezel recesses?

Currently, neither approaches seem all that appealing.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks for any advice.
