Re: Hood & fender emblems
Here is the best I can get with the phone camera. Every chevy hubcap or emblem Ive had has this same kinda reddish-orange matte color. I think its more red than orange, but all of my 63 caps (x8) have this same color as well as several other 63 c-10, c-20, c-30 emblems I currently have. The 60-61 I6 & V8 (light duty and heavy duty) hood ornaments I use to have had the same color also, so I can add some input on those particluar items. Im not sure of other years or emblems though, just what I have or have seen. I have several different brand paint sheets and crash sheets for shops from 60-66 trucks and I cannot find anything on the color. Ive looked at the 10 or so odd factory, engineer, dealer data & shop books that I have also. There are quite a few people out there with more literature and may be able to help.
This is the NOS 1963 c-10 fender emblem I have. It has its original paint and only has box wear, so its as close to factory as I can get you personally. I have to go to the paint shop in a few weeks to get a gallon for my truck, I can try and color match there also.
