I am following the @MarPar method for detailing my emblems. But I do have a technical /vain/ want to be as close as Original as possible question.Thank you Stan. It was relatively easy, but the overall impact is yuge.
The trick is to paint the emblems with satin black first, then let the paint set up for 2-5 min and wipe the face of them emblems with a microfiber dipped in acetone. One or two swipes should do it. Just be careful not to get too aggressive with the wiping or you will be painting them again. DAMHIK
(68 Polara). It looks like most of the shadowing is on the bottom and inside the small gaps. However on the larger gaps and on the top side I do not see any evidence of paint. Could it be years of car washes and sun fading, or is it because its shadowing and should only be in the tight areas and bottom?
I realize that when they chrome these originally there is a halo effect and the chrome doesn’t get in the tight areas. (Argent or dark paint between the tight grill spaces anyone?). My theory suggests that the bottom and smaller inner areas should be black, but the top and bigger openings stay shiny.
For example: inside the P and D should be shiny. Inside all the others should be black? Even the stick for the P doesn’t have any paint evidence and it is protected. The bottom of the P stick and loop are painted.
Thanks for your advice and comments.
