I have a question about the SS emblems like if i could get them Gold plated somehow with a black insert or painted black cause im goin the whole black and gold theme ala the smokey and the bandit firebird gold theme. I looked on google and most were like kits u do at home which im not that comfy with im kinda lookin for a shop to do it or a place near me or atleast a hour and half or less drive from me. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Are you getting the transmarobird logo on the hood? Please say yes.

Just paint your emblems.

 

but how do paint them gold plated? i dont want them gold paint. No im doin gold racin stripes at some point but just not sure if i want to take the stripes down the front and rear of the car or stop at the end of the hood or trunk

 

id say if you stripped them then used gold spray paint then some black on the inside and you'd get what you are looking for.

edit: you really want to coat plastic emblems?

 

Stripes should always stop at hood an trunk.

You could use gold leaf instead of plating. Probably your best option.

 

agree completely with this

 

Yea i want to coat the plastic pieces and im not that big of a fan of the gold leaf so thats not the look im goin for with that. I want a 60's type of gold stripe. Like on the camaro or chevelles

 

I'm pretty sure they used gold leaf back in the days for it. Enough not, it was paint.

 

yea the custom scene used gold leaf not factory i dont think. But before the stripes i want to get the emblems and powdercoat my wheels gold.

or are you trying to paint the entire SS emblem?

 

Yea gold plate the entire emblem. Then get a black inlay or paint the inside where its white to black.
