wellI guess you would use a paint brush. I don't particularly like hood ornaments. Before I removed mine from my 1980 I had a picture of my friend mooning stuck in there. It was pretty funny but I was happy to get rid of it.

If you're really going to keep it why not just make something totally original. (Opinion) They never made a nice factory hood ornament.
