Not as much as you would think actually. It was more about the method. I'll probably take pictures when I do the other emblem this Sunday, but I masked the outside of the vertical lines on the edges pretty easily. Then all you have to do is have ready a couple of cotton swabs and a little bit of paint thinner ready for when you screw up. Whenever I would screw up and get paint outside the indentations in the emblem, I would take a cotton swab and very lightly brush the edges until the fresh paint rubbed out. The key is not to press too hard, because if you do, you'll get the swab inside the indentation itself, removing the paint you wanna keep. If you screw up big, just dip the swab in some paint thinner and rub away lightly.
