I just masked the engine cover for the grey metallic paint. The red caliper paint was viscous enough that it wouldn't run over the edge if applied carefully with a fine brush (~3 mm) with a steady hand.

There were a couple small spots where I pushed it over the edge, but rubbing the edge gently with a toothpick took care of that when the paint was partially cured but still soft. Placed it in the oven at 75 C (~167 F) for 25 min and the surface came out nice and smooth on the lettering.
