Blue 67/68 Grill Bowtie? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ChevyRedneck · 02-24-2006, 05:08 PM

Hey all, I'm trying to make a chrome parts list for my truck. I'd like to get a brand new bowtie for my 67 for the grill, but I can only find them with the insert painted red. The one on my truck now is crappy and pitted so I painted the inside with model paint and I really liked how it looked. I don't want to pay 20 or 30 bucks for a new emblem and have to paint it too... does anyone sell these in blue?

Mine is Red, but a bottle of Testors and a nice brush should run less than 5 bucks. Or mask and spray paint --about same cost.

Never seen them in any color other than red.. The paint shop in your area should be able to make it really nice for you ...

Why not see if you can take the blue plastic from a 69-72 and put it in a 67/68?Paint the background silver or,better yet,strip the paint and have it chrome.I`ve never tryed this,but if it works it`ll look 10x better than any paint.

I think you best bet would be to paint it . I had the one on BB painted to match the truck and some graphics painted on it , it's been almost 2 years and no problems .

Does anyone sell a billit or chrome repro that will work?
