Hey guys I recently painted my wheels black and want to paint the hubcaps to match. I want to paint all the chrome black and paint the black letters white. The letters are recessed just a little bit. The only way I know of doing this would be to tape off the letters with masking tape and trim it with a razor. Is there any easier way to do this?
Here's a pic of the hubcap:
ETA: I guess I'm really just looking for an easy way to do this because I don't feel like cutting out all the letters.

Anybody have any ideas? Would lacquer thinner take it off without damaging the plastic?

If spray painting, only way to go really is taping them off.
I'd suggest using a brush to do the letters.
Make sure to lightly sand the plastic before painting or the paint won't want to stick.
Make sure to do the letters after the rest of the hubs.
