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.
