Mine had ben painted over by a previous owner. I striped them with paint striper and then cleaned the chrome with really fine steel wool I think it was 0000 than my 12 year old daughter painted them with enamel model paint.

Awesome! How are they holding up in the emelents and the car wash? Thanks for the reply also!

"One shot" striping enamel is what I have seen most people use to restore their emblems, if you search "One Shot striping enamel" you'll find most of the info your looking for. Hope this helps! here's a link

http://1shot.com/home.html looks like you can buy smaller quantities through them directly, eastwood only has pints or more.....

To clean them, I use the 0000 grit steelwool on the areas I can reach and then use a soft bristle toothbrush and Barkeeper's Friend (which is a non abrasive cleanser) to get to the areas that you can't reach w/the steelwool.
Sprinkle the cleanser on a dry surface, wet the brush, dip the brush in the dry cleanser and start to scrub the emblem.

I've had good results using nail polish on the white/red/black parts of the emblems.

A large syringe or meat injector can get the paint into the small grooves. Instead of trying to cover the small surface area with a small brush, the syringe will fill the area and level out.

Yes, using a brush is difficult. Lay the emblem flat/level, drip the polish and let it fill the space.
