As some of you know, I have rehabbed the paint on my 71 LeSabre in this thread: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=91441 I had taken off the fender emblems to make it easier to work and get a cleaner job. Well, it paid off to take the time to slice my arms up trying to get the emblems off, because it is a really big difference. Check it out: Before - no way to get the dirt out from inbetween the scripting, and the black paint has chipped and rubbed off the edges of the emblems. There is also body color paint on the edges of the emblems all around. When I pulled the emblems off, I decided it would be stupid to reinstall them dirty. I cleaned them up and ringed the letters with an acrylic black paint pen, and scraped the excess paint off the face of the letters. These emblems POP out now!! Totally different look.....Buick could've just left the whole emblem chrome, but that black outline really makes the difference. I still have to do the insides of the "CUSTOM" emblem, but those are easy. After::::
little things make a difference ! Just goes to show that extra effort is well worth the time and trouble Adam ! :TU:
