03. Start by painting the red area first. Mask one section out.

04. Shake the paint well. Lightly dip the brush into the paint and paint away. Don't use too much paint or else there'll be a blob of paint on that section of the crest. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

05. When the paint is dry, slowly peel off the masking tape.

06. Do the same for the rest of the three red sections.

07. Now we start painting the gold color. This is a little tricky. There is no need for masking. All you need is a calm and gentle hand. Use the other brush and lightly dip into the gold paint and start painting the gold sections. Take your time here.

08. This is result when you are done. Repeat the process for the other three crests.
