300 grill emblem repair & mirror gasket

[david hill]

Has anyone ever restored the paint logo on a 1969 300 grill emblem. While removing the outside mirrors one of the mirror fell a part. Contacted DMT was told my tool up for more c body gaskets later this year. Got replies form Classic Industries, year one and other classic car part suppliers, sorry we don't make or stock that. Any help on the above would sure be appreciated. Just getting ready for Volo in June.

I did mine with testors model paint and good quality brush and a steady hand.

Brad's NOS lists a NOS gasket, but no price. Might be worth a call. Products – Page 842 – Brad's NOS Parts

Can you take a picture of the back of that emblem? Metal or plastic? Chances are you can't do much with it if it's plastic. If it's a cloisonne type emblem, they can be restored... But it's cheaper to find NOS or good used.

I did one of the plastic center emblems of a 67-68 style 300 wheelcover - looks very similar. Exactly like Dobalovr said . . . Testors model paint, good quality brush, and a steady hand (for the red/white/blue/black). Then oversprayed the silver, if I remember. Turned out nicely - just remember to let the brushed-on paint cure before you overspray the silver, or it will lift.

It might be difficult to remove the plastic w/o breaking it.

have 3 NOS in case you want to go that route.

Wow it never ceases to amaze me how the members help each other out here. I would get the NOS one for sure then I would use the old one as garage art or real cool keychain.

I picked up some 300 emblems from Marty last year good quality items fairly priced!
