Anyone know of a good way to re-do the paint on the numbers and the brass ring of a fatboy?

A really steady hand, good eyes and a very small fine brush. Or MAGIC!!!!
At good craft supply places (probably elsewhere too) you can purchase paint pens. I am not entirely sure of the exact product names, but they are like marker pens of enamel paint and you can get fine points. They paint the numbers very nicely.
I touched up the numbers on a slim by using black model enamel from a hobby shop. I painted it on with a fine brush. I then took a q-tip with a bit of brush cleaner on it and wiped over the number to clean it up. It comes out looking just like new.

Thanks for all the tips, I'll be trying my hand at this as soon as possible.
Black fingernail polish, stolen from my daughters.
Just make sure you disclose that it's been repainted if you ever sell it or the "Razor Nazis"
will get you.
You could upset the pricing system for vintage razors.

How about the brass ring though, that seems a bit trickier with it not being recessed.
I used a paint pen bought at a hardware store. As the paint was still wet I wiped the excess. It worked really well for me!
