Not a lot of skill or discipline. It's an old model car builder painting trick.

I painted over the leaves and the letters with the blue paint. Then took a paper towel and wiped off the high relief items.

Pretty easy to do really. If i do redo it I will look for a chrome paint for the base next time.
