Tail light restoration

I am in the process of restoring the tail lights on my 77CS. I have the red plastic lens all shiny and new. I now need to paint on the chrome/silver accent strips on the raised portion of the rocket emblem and border. Anyone have a technique. I did one by hand. Came out so, so. I was thinking maybe a silk screen roller with paint on it. Really looking for any input to make it nice and crisp, like the factory.

Thanks
Mike
