For this cosmetic mod, I couldn't see paying more than $40 or so.
Here's an idea...anyone who wants one just sends you their emblems...cleaned up with tape removed, etc. You paint them and send them back. Charge whatever you think is fair for the labor plus postage and voila...money in your pocket, no outlay for GM parts and you could even do a bunch at the same time if everyone sends emblems by a certain date.
You could say, "Okay, whoever wants their emblems Victory Red, send me your clean emblems by March 15th. I will painting a batch on March 18th."
Something like that.

Im still here and check in everyday.
I wound up selling a bunch on Ebay but in all honesty, its just not cost effective. Even though I am a Parts Manager for a Chevy dealer and get the parts at cost, it wasnt really a bargain after painting. I still had to pay the painter in our body shop something for his time. It was a great idea but not worth it in the long run. Unless I get the parts for free
and painting done for free , I am done doing this.
