Would it be possible to tape the area off before drybrushing?

Got any pics?

I'm sure that someone will have a ford logo decal in their spares. do you have a pic of which one it is? i'm sure even i could spare one

failing that i'd ask the master - Keith Marks

or Pattos Place

both good decal places to start.

Use an Optivisor. That's really the only way. Use enamel paint, and thin it slightly before applying it. Cut your smallest brush to three or four bristles if you have to. That's how I paint my smallest details.

I use a toothpick.  Dip it in paint and then wipe most off on a paper towel, then roll it over the raised surface.

Look out suppliers of Photo Etched bits for 1/43rd scale models. You may find something there.
