That looks nice. Where did you see a post, and who is "him"?

That horn button looks nice. I would like to know how that was done.

This doesn't answer your question, but you may want to give this technique a shot if you want to try it yourself.

Is that the original picture? Google can't find it anywhere else, and it's usually pretty good given an original image.

I've had great luck with this method-
strip the original paint and clean up the emblem with fine steel wool then degreaser.
lay the emblem on a flat surface and get it perfectly level.
Find some nail polish the colors you need and use a syringe (available from a pharmacy-cheap) to apply it to the indented areas of the emblem (on raised areas you'll need to use a brush-this method is just for low areas surrounded by a higher border)
fill the area till the nail polish flows to fill the entire area.
let it dry and you'll be amazed how nice it looks-like glass-and so far the ones I've done are durable....
