If this is a collectible pistol, I wouldn't add or detract from its current appearance with new paint. If it is a shooter, then just make sure the stamp is relatively clear of old paint and debris, then apply the new paint with a small brush or Q-tip. wait a few minutes and then wipe the area carefully with a lint free cloth and the paint will remain in the stamp. For a temporary and removable fill, just use a white grease pencil. You can usually scrub out the old fill in the stamp with gun solvent and a old toothbrush.
