When repainting a partially rubbed symbol?

Cloud Puff has a rub in her DS cloud.

My white acrylic is a little too white - she's 20 years old, so of course her symbol isn't going to be perfectly white.

If you were restoring her, would you fill in the entire symbol, so it was all bright white, or just the rubbed bit and then find a way to make the new bit look old?
 
I just touch up rubs if they bother me. My Mimic's symbol was pretty sorry looking and faded, so I basically put down a few thinned out coats of paint over the rub to build the color up, then did a thin wash over the whole red section to even out the tones. That worked better than repainting from scratch for me. I can barely even tell the places I patched, whereas a freehand repaint would obviously be different from a factory symbol.
