hi.

1957 3600.

looking at the fender and hood emblems, the paint is either missing (maybe stripped at one time) of so faded I can't get a good color match.

does anyone have any first hand experience with painting their emblems?

and if yes, which brand and color did you use? any pics of the results would be appreciated.

I am afraid I might go too bright or too dark.

right now I am looking at rustoleum cherry red (might be too bright) or regal red (might be too dark).

thanks
