I took a picture of my grill because I liked seeing the new shiny radiator behind it, then noticed my Oldsmobile emblem needs to be touched up. What works best? Touch up paint? Paint marker? I know it's a small detail, but I still don't want to mess it up.

While I'm asking, the other end of the car needs attention, too. I want to repaint my taillight bezels because some of the old stuff rubbed off. Someone recommended using silver caliper paint. Has anyone heard of doing this?

 

First, remove it. The black section is a seperate pc. Clean it, paint it..

 

heres what I did w my taillights. the dull aluminum paint is a real close match to the original silver color

Thanks, guys. I did not know the emblem was in two pieces! Attaching the previous threads was also helpful. I spent some time looking at all the pics and reading both threads. The steps you took were so well documented, and feel I've learned a lot. I'll post some pics when I get 'er done. Have a nice day!

 

Hope this is not a hijack and helps the original poster too, but any ideas for the "claret" red on the "S" emblems?

 

I bought some closely matching red touchup paint, cleaned them with a fine wire brush and brillo. Masked of the chrome part with tape, and cleaned the rest of the high spots with acetone while the paint was still tacky.
