Any sources on this decal? Want to polish stainless steel

Thanks in advance

That decal is not a GM decal. That is a much later government requirement as seen on replacement caps. I would permanently remove it.

The one I bought faded to clear translucent in less than a year outside. not complaining because I didn't want the sticker on there in the first place, but if a guy did want the sticker on there then be warned it will disappear quickly.

For the money I don’t think I would even try buffing the stainless was more the point . And you have a new gasket too

I'd rather have the older original ones like the OP has. the new ones are a cheap imitation. compare the quality of the steel and the mold on OP's with the gates one. you can just replace the gasket without replacing the whole cap.
