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
2. spray 1 coat white and let dry 15 minutes
3. spray 3 coats pearlizer, letting them dry in between coats
4. spray 2 coats clear sealant, letting it dry between coats
5. sand again, 2000 grit

To be honest, it looks like a perfect match, but it's not. I did some pieces and later took them off. Looks dead on in the sun, but looks way off under overcast. I didn't sand nothing down, I sparked the matte white, then pearlizer and I even odd multiple coats, and topped it off with multiple coats of glossifier...
