Default How will I go about painting center cap H ?

Okay so I got these HX's right now, and I was wondering how should I put the H. Do I need to sand the paint before? Can I use touch-up paint ? I was thinking of painting it DAP. Here it is


THANKS !

I scuffed the H up and just used reg. clear household tape to mask off the cap. I then cut the tape with a sharp blade in the shape of the H. Painted them and they came out perfect.

i would also like to know. seems to me, if you were to mask it off and cut out the "H", wouldnt the line not be straight? well any info would be great.
