Painting Fender Decals?
I have a 72 Cheyenne Super with all the Fender Emblems, but they have faded over the years. Do you have any tips or advice on how to restore, polish, and paint those or would I be better off buying repros?

Re: Painting Fender Decals?
Where did you get them? Were they repros? How much did they run?

Re: Painting Fender Decals?
So it sounds to me like buying reproduction EMBLEMS is a better option than trying to paint the existing originals?

Re: Painting Fender Decals?
Depends if your are pitted.. If not then you can have them rechromed and paint them

How do I have something rechromed? Is there a company near Oklahoma City that does it or is it more of a "DYI" kind of thing? |

Re: Painting Fender Decals?
Its not a diy thing. You will have to get it done.. Im sure okc has a chromer. If your not sure find a motorcycle shop ask who they would recomend.
