GMC EMBLEM Paint Factory or Aftermarket?

GMC EMBLEM PICS PLEASE ! Paint Factory or Aftermarket?

I have seen a couple of members with GMC emblems that are two tone or chrome on the outside edge / color matched on the inside. Is this a painted factory emblem or aftermarket?

you mean the GMC on the grill? if so, take it off, sand it with wet/dry sandpaper, and mask it off. Paint it, and get some clear coat to go over it. Bingo, re-attach

It's done by us. You can either mask it off with tape or carefully pry the letters out and then paint them and put them back. If you pry them out be careful not to break them.

Thanks for the replies. just got my HD back from being painted. Still waiting on the factory reinforcement bar behind the bumper cover. I have had it on order since May the 5th. Still not here yet. Will post some pice of the HD hood/painted front grill also.....

I had mine shot with a black and clear thinned mix. I just wanted the red softened and the chrome less flashy:

emay, your truck is freaking bad ass. The more I see pics of it, the more I like it.
Now back the thread topic, its a simple DIY. I did my 94's, the hardest part for me was the masking off. But in the end, it came out looking good.
