I don't need no stinkin (new) badges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 08-19-2002, 11:49 PM

Just got my badges from JoesJunk... good price, good used product.
Already shined one up and painted it. All I need to do is con my little sister into painting Caddy 425 in the blank area!

chevy2racr · 08-20-2002, 12:55 AM

don't look too shabby andy

Longhorn Man · 08-20-2002, 01:50 AM

If only the pic would have done it justice...
Thanks.

**Joesjunk** · 08-20-2002, 02:02 AM

Glad you liked the emblems. Looks like you got them cleaned up pretty good!!

**68SWB4x4** · 08-20-2002, 02:03 AM

lets get pics of your sisters painting them

Longhorn Man · 08-20-2002, 07:29 AM

LOL...Shag, you would enjoy that WAY too much.

johnnyp · 08-20-2002, 08:44 AM

longhornmail, here's and idea -- instead of painting the 425, make a full color 425 decal on the computer that will fit the emblem, print it out, then use decoupage clear epoxy to fill in the recessed area.

greasemonkey · 08-20-2002, 11:13 AM

Ah, now we see the infamous brill!!

**COBALT** · 08-20-2002, 12:10 PM

Those look pretty good. Hey! Don't neglect your 502 badges! LOL

*racedvl* · 08-20-2002, 10:05 PM

I like johnnyp's idea!! BTW looks great Andy! But...... got that caddy in yet??!!???

haulna · 08-20-2002, 11:50 PM

A work bench without a Mountian Dew can. Whats up?

Longhorn Man · 08-21-2002, 12:54 AM

lets see.....
johnnyp...You lost me in there somewhere...I doubt my puter can do that...and if IT can, I can't! I can't seem to be able to get any images the way i want them.
greasemonkey...LOL brill, when will it ever end? LOL! new69owner...502 badges...why the h*ll would I want a 502?
racedvl...thanks, and no, not yet.
haulna...I been gaining too much weight, and a case of dew (plus a bottle or two) ain't helpin...so i'm tryin to cut back.

Project1970 · 08-21-2002, 04:12 AM

FYI...just so you know...having been there, done that (though you went there and did it better than I did, lol!)...that Testor's Paint won't look so good in a few years, and it noticeably faded on mine after even one year. Last time I did it (year and a half, nearly 2 years now) I used the touch-up paint for our red 1997 Suburban and it seems to be holding up much better.

Those look like the chrome is better than mine though.

Longhorn Man · 08-21-2002, 07:35 AM

kick @ss, thanks for the heads up.

johnnyp · 08-21-2002, 09:59 AM

Kinda like this --

Longhorn Man · 08-21-2002, 07:42 PM

hmmm, that DOES look sharp.
Now how could I get it onto the emblim again?
You talking just print this out on paper, and put clear epoxy over it?
how long would this last?

THOR 50 · 08-21-2002, 09:05 PM

I would leave those with the 1500 V-Eight underneath and add these under the side marker!

THOR 50 · 08-21-2002, 09:11 PM

Kinda like mine

Mountain Man · 08-21-2002, 11:17 PM

Hey Longhorn, I see you have used Mothers aluminum polish. Does that stuff work well, it sure looks like it does. I need a good aluminum polish for my grill and front bumper.

Longhorn Man · 08-22-2002, 01:33 AM

It is actually there mag and wheel polish, and this stuff is friken AWSOME! You'll crap when you see the prive, but trust me, it is worth it.

johnnyp · 08-22-2002, 09:05 AM

longhornmail, yea I'm talking size the graphic to fit, print out, glue on, and pour on clear epoxy. How long will it last? I don't really know, but I've seen table tops (you know, the ones that have stuff like coins embedded in them) that have been around for at least 10 years. I've got decoupage photos that I covered with epoxy 20 years ago and other than a little yellowing they still look good.

Canada20 · 08-22-2002, 10:05 AM

what movie is the quote "we don't need no stinkin badges" from? I've heard people quote it a few times now and I'm curious
