Easy little project. This is the way to do it....
Cut out the shape and give the whole surface a light sand with fine sanding block or paper.
Spray the shape with a metallic spray paint
I used Silver Wheels Pro
After the silver is dry cover the shape with black acrylic paint making sure you get into all the etched details with the paint
with a moist cloth wipe off the acrylic paint leaving the engraved areas filled
this process can be repeated until you get the desired look
