Painted bowtie's and a lil re-arrangement

i know its not i big deal but i decided to paint my bowties and re-arrange my ss badge......

back.... pics suck but viewable..



i didnt separate the gold bowtie fron the chrome base either...was pretty easy for those thinking of doing it. all i did was mask of the chrome. a little paint got on the chrome but i easily scrapped it off with my finger nail.....



front....





i know it can be a pita to separate, but just by masking, it works perfect

Yeah you have to remove em. I took off the back with a hairdryer to it and when I took it off the black Oem sticky **** was still on the trunk. All I did was heat up that sticky **** with the blowdryer and replaced the bowtie after i was done with the paint job

Also from GMpartsdirect.com

But I would highly discourage from using them. They take forever, even though the product is cheaper I believe.

Or if you find another member on here selling his in the "Parts" section.

EDIT: Nevermind, I was thinking of the armrest package.

But the parts section is the cheaper route.

They look nice. I just did mine a flat black the other night. I took off the back one and it was a pain in my ars so I jusdt masked the front one. The crome gives it a nice pop.
