Emblems: restore vs. new? (pics of used ones)
I was planning on re-using the emblems from my C20, but the paint job is coming out better than expected. You know how that goes - now everything else has to be up to snuff.
Are the reproduction emblems good quality? On the other hand, I'm not doing a perfect restoration, so I've considered powder coating my emblems or something like that (tough to paint the bow ties red after they're powder coated though). Any suggestions or insights? Here's my pieces:

I restored my emblems and they look great. that being said nobody reproduces these so i had no choice. takes some time but the satisfaction is worth it.

Nice! Can you give me some idea of what it took to do that? I'm really interested in how you dealt with the "pock marks" in the pot metal.
