I was waxing the Cobalt today and noticed that some of the gold paint on the bowtie on my trunk is beginning to flake around the edges. As a result, I am considering painting the bowties a different color. I first considered red but after seeing a couple of black balts with black bowties, I am torn. What do you guys think? Some pics of the finished product would also be sweet.

PS, I'm not interested in debadging

 

black is the way to go. i think red would look off unless you had other contrasting red parts.

 

I also think you should go with black.

 

go with white it will stand out more, i would paint all your emblems that you still have on your car white it will look good

 

did mine red, i like it. but later on i might change to black just for something different again

 

never seen/heard anyone go white. but once you go black you cant go back

 

^^hahah! dude i would say black too, the black out theme is pretty popular and it looks good!

 

same color as the car, so it hides it

 

How is the paint holding up on everyones painted bowties? I plan on doing a lot of coats and topping it with just as many clear coats. I imagine the front one gets quite a beating.

 

heres mine painted flat black 2 coats not one chip paint for probably 9-10 months
