Default Highlighting the Corvette wheel script

Has anyone highlighted (Painted?) the debossed "Corvette" script in the wheels? I've seen the debossed script on the back of C6 bumpers painted a contrasting colour from the car? I'd like to do the medium gray metallic of the base disc brake caliper . Does anyone have any pic's or info on how it could be done? Possibly a decal? Tia Mike

Lettering that is recessed is typically done with decal lettering.
If you want to try paint, then try plastidip so you can keep trying until you get it right.

I painted the letters on my GS factory wheels using enamel model paint and a tiny paint brush, wiping off the excess with a rag dipped in paint thinner. Used several coats to build up the paint and color. Turned out great and added a personal touch to the wheels. Looked great until both rear wheels cracked, then I replaced the wheels with forged aftermarket wheels. Easy to do and shouldn't take you that long.
