Well after getting my grill on, I decided I needed to paint my emblem. Well here’s what you need in order to get the job done:

Masked off the letters, roughed it up with some sand paper, hit it with a couple coats of primer, the a couple coats of royal blue, then a ton of clear.

Now I dunno if I should put it in the center or offset it. Maybe like this:

Looks sweet. Offset might look pretty nice, def. would make it stand out. Is it possible to do the GMC emblems from the back like you can the Cheby bow ties? It's just that yours looks so good you'd hate to see it get rock chipped after all that hard work.

Nah, we GMCers have to paint over the top. The plastic is actually red, so even if we could I don't think it would come out right.
