Well I bought that beautiful Blue on silver emblem from Jamie and it got me thinkin'. "How'd he do that? So I took it apart. And I have fgured it out I think. I have yet to glue it back together. Any advice would be appreciated, and as always welcomed. Also I was also thinking I could make Pink cross on a black background for ya Debi. Give me some good ones. Ford blue on white would look sweet Laser. I shopped the salvage yards and can have alot of these quick if I think 5-6 will sell. And we are talking 30-45 shipped in the lower 48. Thanks in advance.

The Lincoln cross will remain the original design but the colors will change. Chrome on red is stock. I could do the red on black though. But as far as the cobrastar goes, I can't do that. The lincoln cross has to stay. Only the colors can change. Keep the ideas comin guys. Are we talkin dark red or lipstickass firetruck red? I was thinking something like firetruck red.

What kind of paint do you use? I've got one that I picked up at the junkyard recently with the intention of painting it (or trying!)

Are you using any special glue or will superweather strip adhesive be fine? That's what I had planned on using.

I used Loc-Tite glue, it was all i had and worked great.

Cool!

Wasn't sure what adhesives would be compatible with the paint. That Goop is pretty good stuff! (I've used it for a lot of things now, not just car related)
