Is this the black logo with silver letters?
I went to a craft store and bought a silver paint marker. With a little
care you can do a pretty good job picking out the letters with the paint
-- since they're raised you don't need much artistic skill. It doesn't
look perfect but from a few feet away it looks decent. The paint will
eventually weather off but then you just do it again. Takes maybe ten
minutes.
Start the marker on a sheet of paper, first, they tend to drool a bit
of weakly silverish stuff before the good heavy silver paint gets started.
