How did your bowtie 'fly off'? Did you not reattach it by the 'nuts' when reinstalling after painting it?

the oem emblem is actually 2 pieces. I painted it because of the Way it looked before painting it. It was seperating and if you shook it, the gold part of the emblem was cracking and falling out. The base of the emblem was still bolted to the grill. you can see in the pic i originally had a big chunk of gold missing

I just separated the gold bowtie from the black trim bowtie and used oven cleaner on the inside of the gold one. Just spray it down and leave it for about 10 minutes, then just rinse it off. Do this a couple times and the gold will be gone. Then you can spray your color of choice directly to the inside of the now basically clear bowtie. That way it will not chip off from bugs, rocks, car washes, etc. Glue them back together and reinstall. Easy as that and cheap.

P.S. Was doing this to the rear when I snapped the gold bowtie in half, so if anyone has their old rear tie they want to send my way I would appreciate it.
