Hi, I wanted to replace the fish emblems on the side of my C7 Stingray with the script from a C3. My wife bought me a couple off of eBay but a lot of the black outline paint has worn off.
Any ideas on what paint to use and how to go about painting such a small area? I’d sure appreciate any help you could offer.
I would spray the whole badge black and let the paint sit for an hour or so then use a razor blade to reveal the chrome. With a new blade and patience you get a really sharp transition line.
So you want to replace the stingray emblem with the word stingray, correct?
I was thinking of doing the exact opposite on my 74 Stingray, or adding the stingray emblem to the hood.
I do like the original script and the fun of this is, its your car, so I say "GO FOR IT".
My wife has detailed my emblems because she has a steady hand and did a fantastic job.
Good luck with this and share your results please.

AllVettes4Me Just a 2LT for me but I love it. My current project. Having a ball with it.
I agree with others above and have done the same......paint it all with black paint, and then come back right away with a rag / solvent like acetone or MEK, and wipe it off the chrome areas. It takes a little care, but it works.
