Who out their has painted their SS and bowtie? And would I be better off just buying a inlay instead.

pull them off and paint them.

i was gonna buy inlays and replacements for mine until i saw the cost of inlays and vinyl versus paint. a can of paint, clear, and 1500 grit sand paper = $8 and an hour of spaced out work. vinyl inlays and chevy emblem covers were like $30 or something.

The ss inlays are like $17. The front emblem one is like $8 and the rear $10. Plus proper paint and clear holds up way better than vinyl, especially in florida. hell the factory stripes on my girl friends mustang were gloss black when she bought the car and are now flat and faded black. its only a 2009.....

The sides of your car will barely see direct sun. They will undoubtedly last as long as you own your car. With proper cleaning and care for your car...no reason the vinyl won't last.

My buddy has stock vinyl graphics on his daytona charger...06. Still looks good. 170k miles later and almost 7 years old.
