That is what my painter said. Well I guess I bite the bullet and grab those new ones. Don't know why someone couldn't scan these into a computer and get them cut out of metal. That would save me having to do this, and a lot of other people in the future that need these after painting. Thanks very much.

I know a lot of people just had them made out of vinyl when replacing because the badge was expensive. I didn't mind the cost (but it also wasn't that expensive direct from GM through a parts person that I knew), the silver badges on my black car looked a lot better than the black ones that you couldn't even see.

Ahhh... paint photos! Paint photos are always the most rewarding photos for the before-and-after effect. Thanks for sharing - I'll continue watch this thread with great interest.

True. Also z-cars and G35s.
Sucks that the emblem broke, but if you want them you'll have to pay, and you may as well pay now while they're still available.

According to Ebay, these were the last two available. They are also supposed to come with a diagram for exact placement. I am also getting back the original ones, they are not broken but he is unable to get them affixed. I will keep you posted. I get the car back tomorrow.

He told me he applied 4 coats of clear coat. He said let it cure, and in a few weeks find a really good shop and let them polish it out. Knock your eyes out.
