Need painting tips

So I am making a custom PSU cover and I am having trouble figuring out how I should go about painting on the decal.

 

For those who are aware, there is a professional Counter Strike team called NiP or Ninjas in Pajamas. So for my decal I am doing their name and their logo. I have a pretty good idea on how to do the letters, I'm just having trouble with the logo, since it is pretty complicated. Trying to print it and cutting it out didn't work, so I'm stuck.

 

If you want to see the logo just google NiP csgo and it will pop up. Don't just google nip unless you want something else....lol. 

 

If anyone has any suggestions that would be great :D Thanks!

Go to YouTube and search up Bob Ross. Paint along with him and you'll be fine.

You could make stencils for each part of the logo, so do the circle, then the black blades, then the bronze blades? But use spray paint as well.

Yeah, a stencil would be the best way to go. Get a high res version of the image, print it in the middle of a page so you've got about an inch all around the image, an use either a craft knife or a razor to cut out the gold sections. Tape it down, and spray it.

Yeah, this was my initial thought. But I tried this and once you cut out all the gold sections, there is nothing holding on to the middle and it falls off
