Re: How close is this to OEM bowtie color?

I know the three pics are all the same bowtie, but the top appears closest. The bottom 2 are too turquoise looking. That said, the top appears a bit too blue. My original seems a bit grayer. Still blue, just a bit grayer.

What I need is some NOS button pics... flash on the 2nd and 3rd pics... hence the hue differentiation.

I'll see if I can dig out an N.O.S. Chevy horn button. The first picture looks close.
