How did you paint over the little icons like on the parking brake handle without covering them?

Day 3

The fun begins

1st coat

2nd coat

3rd Coat

Final coat

All is left for tomorrow are the door inserts and the center console then I should be done. I spray the dye on instead of doing the paint brush method. I tried the brush method on a test piece but didn't like the results so I went with spraying.
