Prospeeder Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Now this is irritating me, on the back of my car, the outline of the emblem is actually etched into my paint, and it looks like shit! So i wanna put at least 1 on the back. Is the paint color code 81 like the Grand Prixs? What is the finish, some kind of enamal or is it actually paint?? And do you know if its a special paint? Im gonna see if anyone can refinish them, and make the Gold part silver or somthing, or if anyone has just 1 near mint Red one for a reasonable price id buy that Anyone else been sucessful in refinishing thiers?

Garrett Powered Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 dont try to refinish it! just wipe it off and get 3-M EMBLEM tape with the red backing then razor knife the shape out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 The paint/enamal is Chipped and cracked and the metal parts all green and corroded Youch, 200$ for a refinish of an enamal 1 color badge, and more if its complex, NEW they wenrnt even that much http://www.emblemagic.com/enamel_expl.htm#Restoration%20of%20Enameled%20Emblems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GutlessSupreme Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Take a brass wire brush to it. You'll be surprised how much it'll help. Obviously still won't look mint but it's a good way to clean the crap off of it, and it doesn't scratch anything. the metal edges of the badge will shine a little more and the enamal won't be coated in dirt.
