If you really want to try and repaint take some 2" or wider plain manila masking tape and tape over your label. Take an X-Acto knife (or similar) and cut out what you want to repaint. Multiple colors you may need to cut out 1 color, paint, then cut out the other color. Requires a steady hand but not nearly as steady as free hand painting.
FROG TAPE DOES WORK BETTER gives a cleaner edge. If using masking tape you will need to apply a clear coat to the edges first to get a clean edge.

I suggested manila tape as the image will show through and you can cut "on the lines" Frog Tape or other painters tape is not see through and will hide the label so you have no idea where to cut.
