Re: Emblem paint
Most folks just replace themb (when new ones are available). But, I suppose you could try to go to hobby stores, and look for the right shade of red, and whatever other colors are on the emblem.

Re: Emblem paint
I've read about folks using finger nail polish, it's enamel and comes in a gazillion colors with a built in brush.

Re: Emblem paint
I seem to remember another method of using a syringe flow paint into the desired area.

Re: Emblem paint
If I knew about it, I sure forgot about that syringe method. Very kool.

Re: Emblem paint
When I did mine I wish I would have added a drop or 2 of hardener in the syringe. Took forever to dry but, it was a fairly thick coat.

Re: Emblem paint
I've used Testors model paint it is (was?) an enamel, and you can mix it to achieve the color you want if theres no pre-mixed version the right shade.
