Just go over them with a flat file/wet and dry after you have repainted it.

I had mine painted. Masked around the letters, then sanded it with some fine sand paper and a block.
Will get a pic..

Just get the masking tape as close to the edges of the letters as possible. Then mask off the whole cover. No chance of scratches then! Patience is the key!!
sandblast...then bead blast...then polish....job done
