I'm still looking for some kind of paint pen that will produce a thin enough line to look good, and you might want to look for someone with a steadier hand.
A pin striping brush doesn't really work well, because of the difference in the surface levels. Here's one that is the best I could do at the time. Lately I've just skipped it.
If anyone else has a good tool for this, I'd be interested to hear about it.
I have found that a Uchida Deco Color Extra Fine Tip paint pen can give very good results. A source:

I did the lugs on this bike, including the detail on top of the fork crown.
