Reflagging (and re-painting) minis

I am soon-to-be in a quandry.

I will be spending Too Much Money on GZG NI minis in the near future, to
(re)build my fleet. For good or ill, I have a sizeable (for me)
NI-flagged fleet made of Brigade Minis. Re-flagging them by general
shape not really too much of a problem, some of them have in FSE-ish
planforms, some are NSL-ish, etc.

The real problem is that I like the paint jobs on many of them (or at least I
don't think I could do much better with a clean slate), but the NI insignia
and hebrew letters on them will be inappropriate. They are
usually white letters/symbols on the darker (blue mainly) paint job.
I'm pretty sure any attempt to paint over the white would be garishly
noticeable. Are there recourses that don't involve stripping and
re-painting?

So why change them? Make those your older ships and leave them the way they
are. Or maybe sloppily paint over one or two with whatever the
Actuarial Nightmares feel like painting -- I'm thinking of that computer
game from a couple of years ago in which the player commanded a destroyer
"Dreadnought" and the rebels had painted captured ships with graffiti and
"Under New Ownership" and such
