lettering

help, i need tips on lettering the "ferrari" on my testarossa's hood ornament. it's a 1:8 scale metal badge and the lettering is really small. any advice is greatly appreciated.
thanks

If you can post a picture of the badge with a coin or something as a reference I can see how small the lettering. One way I can see how to do the lettering would be careful drybrushing. It may take several times but it might just work. It would be a lot better than if the brush was loaded with paint.

You can buy 1:8 metal "Ferrari" badges

Do a search for Pocher Ferrari or Pocher Testarossa on eBay for many parts.

Scale Details sells a lot of pieces online.

well...i bought the badge from scale details, however, the raised lettering at the bottom isn't very well "embossed" so the drybrush technique doesn't work too well. i'm afraid i'm not savvy enough to include a pic of the badge. i'm gonna try making a decal of the ferrari logo and placing it on the badge. hopefully after a coat of clear it wont look too odd. i appreciate all the replies though.
thanks again

Wait, I get it now.

You're talking about the emblem on the trunk at the front of the car, not the Ferrari lettering on the hood at the back of the car.

Pocher had a sticker for the emblem.

Perhaps Scale Details has the Pocher emblem?

Or keep checking eBay for the decal sheet.
