Paint it body color? I really don't want to do that

Paint it black?

Paint it chrome?

Or order a new shiny chevy oem bow tie and just replace old faded one?

I've been considering the same thing. The gold bow tie just doesn't go with silver birch metallic. I saw a silver/ chrome one this morning on a Hoe that looked really good. I might go that route.

Body color would go well with your current set up...

keruzam93 --- body color it is.

what color did u use? did you go to the dealer, or is it something I can mix up at a paint store? I am asking bc my hood also needs a paint job. Thought I could kill two birds with one "can" ;-)

the color is Emerald Green Metallic, the code is WA177B, but just to make sure the color code is on the sticker in your glove box, towards the bottom of the sticker and always starts with "WA". i got mine mixed at a vocational school i went to so i dont see why you wouldnt be able to get it mixed without going to the dealer

Edit: oh ya, and when you do the bowtie make sure you scuff it up really good and use some adhesion promoter
