This reminds me of how I just repainted my faded //S6 emblems.  I bought
red paint and filled in the red area of the emblems with the torn end of
a paper match.  I had to thin the paint until I got it to flow nicely.
While I no longer have the 4-rings, I do have a shiny, almost plastic
looking red area on the badges.

That's a great result of a fairly accepted way of DIY painting your  
boat. It's called "tip and roll", where you roll on the paint, then  
very lightly drag a foam brush over where you just rolled to eliminate  
the stipple from the foam roller. You typically tests on a pane of  
glass. Testing enables you to get the proper ratio of reducer to suit  
the conditions right then, particularly temperature and humidity, so  
the paint flows away any trace of how it was applied, but not so much  
flow that it sags.

While this might not jibe with visions of a sterile spray booth,  
exceptional results can be realized, as this Corvair shows.
