Original engine emblem paint color for '69
makeminea69:
Can anyone help me with the correct fender emblem colors? I ordered fender and engine emblems for a '69 SS 396. The SS had white paint, the 396 was an off-white color. Is this correct? I was thinking they should both be white.
firstgenaddict:
The color is not a pure white, it is slightly off white- I used an eggshell color semigloss. First stripped all the old paint using stripper then I taped them, cut the recesses with a brand new exacto and sprayed them.
Plackard emblems like SS tail panel or grille emblems spray the white first then tape all then spray the satin or semi black.

Apparently I have the ones I need then. Thanks for the reply and the pics!

James did you use a can, and how many coats of paint?
firstgenaddict:
Yes rattle can, just enough to cover, 1 wet coat.
I soaked the emblems in EVAPORUST after stripping with chemical stripper, they look 100% better than when removed.
The reproduction SS emblems and 396 emblems look like the characters are over inflated, they appear soft, bulging in the middle.
