I have only repainted the red in the badge below, using a small artist brush
I used Humbrol Enamel Modelling Paint - Red Gloss Nº:19[frame]

Hi,
I did mine with Humbrol enamel also. A very cheap and easy way of refurbishing the bonnet badge, with a very acceptable end result. 
Best wishes,
Mike.

I have not done the badge that has blue on it, but looking at Humbrol colour chart it looks like gloss Sea Blue 47 or Medteranean Blue 48.
Link to Chart can be found at
https://www.humbrol.com/humbrol-wallchart/
You then just need to find local model shop that sells the paint
Hope this help
