Have the 4”x1” SS chrome outline, white inner.
On Doors & Rr Hatch.

My searches have found several, but all the Chrome with Red inside are too small... largest 3” in x 5/8”.

Anyone find source for larger or the stock SS with Red?

Next option to fill or paint the white indent.
Considering enamel model paint... nail polish also considered.

Any one play with emblems?
Any suggestions, looking for that “filled” OEM look.

 

Nail Polish is brittle. Enamel model paint would be good. Put in enough so it can flow out nice & even. & you may be best to do a few coats, letting each dry thoroughly. Best done in sun.

 

FYI. The stock SS emblems: Doors emblems are larger than the one on the rear hatch.

 

Yep, noticed that... and found 3 the size of rear hatch in Red.
Took a different path, ordered 3 OEM Chrome w white Door emblems.
I'm pondering larger in back too.
Adding a Chrome with Red Insert 2.0L emblem to other side of hatch, and adding red inlay Turbocharged emblem in place of the black inlay.

 

Thought the same on Nail polish... the lacquer, but I thought there was an enamel similar to model enamel.

I was watching a "Detailer" use a Paasche Gravity Flow Pen... looks like a nice way to fill the inlay.

The Youtubes for Emblem restoration tend to use model paint.

 

Why do you recommend applying paint in the sun? Seems like that would cause it to dry too fast, not allowing the paint to flow and self level as well.

 

Wouldn’t model car enamel fade , no UV protection.
I don’t have badges or emblems but my rear bowtie is painted with automotive, base coat clear coat

 

Try a red paint marker pen you can get from a hobby store.
No fuss, no muss.
Here's an example.

Put a clear coat over it that is UV protection.
You could use Pledge klear floor wax if you wanted.
A quality car polish would work also.

 

I normally apply Glare to paint and various trim for UV.
Glare not only gives ultra deep shine, it's a long term UV protectant
