Can you paint the black back on lower fender engine emblems?

I am building a 72.The "350" emblems are in good shape except the black around the numbers is gone.How do you paint that back in?Would you just order new ones?

What I have done on other emblems is to set them up perfectly level on the bench, and then put a few drops of mineral spirits in the black areas - enough to get it wet. Then drop some paint in, using a very fine brush or a toothpick or similar. It will flow into all the areas that are wet. Keep adding a drop at a time until you get it good and black, and then leave it to dry.
The paint I used was satin black out of a rattle can.
