Air Brush Update.
I asked the forum a couple of weeks ago if I should replace the emblems after getting my 84 repainted in 2009 Velocity yellow or have them air brushed on. I went with the air brushing. Here's a picture. Should be done by the end of next week. Gonna spend the 4th of July weekend putting in new interior and sound system. Then I just have to save up for new shoes for it. I can't wait. More pictures to follow when it gets reassembled.
The shadow around the emblem was air brushed in to give it a 3-d effect.
It looks pretty flat prior to the clear coat.
What looks like a run in the air brushing is actually the handle on the gas door.
Check out the flame job on the canoe.

Looks real! But I think if I was going to have them airbrushed on I would have done something cool that didn't look stock, like since it is yellow have some kinda flame job on it. But dont get me wrong they look great!

I thought about that, but decided to get crazy on the air cleaner instead.

Great job, I always wondered how a C4 would look in millenium and velocity yellow.

looks great
I f you don't mind, how much are you paying for the paint job? I want to repaint my car the stock color, but I need a ball park on how much a paint job in which they remove some panes would cost as opposed to leaving them on and repaint it that way. I know a repaint of a different color is more, just looking for a ball park. My emblems are discolore as well so airbrushging them might also be an option when it comes time to repaint.
