One method would be to carefully sand down the high spots (and ONLY the high 
spots) where the engraving has raised the metal (220 grit if deeply engraved, 
followed by 400 grit, or just 400 grit, if lightly engraved).  Then prime, 
sand, reprime and resand as necessary until smooth and the engraving is no 
longer 
obvious, then repaint.  Done well with an airbrush, it should look like new.
