haha ive done that and with model paint too, came out good but i took it off after a couple months... so yeah toothpick works, but you should probably use something better like a fine paint brush, or you can mask it off really well and just spray

AlbinoMonkeyRat is on a distinguished road
Paul said (when he had his car) that he sprayed some color-matched paint (which is tough to find considering the color, trust me, lol) into a dixie cup and applied the paint with a q-tip or a toothpick.

the key is to make sure the area is cleaned very well, using something that doesn't leave some sort of residue behind, so Armor-all is not a good idea.
