My suggestion based on past experience which proved to be quite successful is as follows :
Clean out the indentations where the letters are and then paint over the general area of the word without trying to just fill in the indentations, I used Humbrol Matt white modelling paint.
When the paint is completely dry, which may take some time as it will be quite thick in the indentations wrap a piece of polishing cloth around a small block of wood so that you have a flat surface. Then using an abrasive compound such as Tcut or Solvol Autosol carefully polish off the surplus white paint to leave the indentations full of white paint. Obviously you need to take care to only polish down to the black paint and not through it !
I did try removing the surplus paint with white spirit but found that it tended to remove all the paint not just that on the surface.
Good luck - Ken.
