Finally found a deal on a platinum/premium hood trim piece (was Silver but only $50 on eBay) so I dipped it today as well as the grille emblem. I've always preferred the color matched emblems versus the standard black emblem. Turned out great, probably my best "dip" yet.
Wow! I'll be doing this to my chevy emblems soon. I want them to match the factory white diamond paint of the car. Just so I understand, is this the way to do it?
1. wet sand the existing emblem, 2000 grit
