Topic: Emblems
in Forum: C3 Body
Just Somthing I thought I should pass on. After replacing my emblems several years in a row from the paint peeling and fading I decided to spray them with several coats of a clear gloss. After several months of rain, shine and highway speeds they still look brand new.
I used a Dupli-Color Scratch & Fix touch up paints:
HA 00955 Milano Red - (Honda), Universal Black, GM 433 Bright White
I took an NOS emblem that I have to the local parts store to match the red, it's really close if not right on.
I drop the paint in with the brush and use a toothpick to move it around until it fills the desired area. After it is dry, I use a razor to scrape off any areas that I don't want the paint, such as the Chevy Bowtie on the flag.
A couple of days after it dried, I tried to brush on the clear, but it made the color run. It's such an easy fix that I just repaint any chips.
I'll keep doing this until I get a repaint, then I'll use the new emblems.
