their fender SS emblems any other color that white? My 71 is Torch Red with black stripes. There is nothing on the car that is white, so I thought I would paint them Black. Any thoughts?

Steve, You'll probably get a lot of "It's your car,paint em the way you want. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

My 70 is Torch Red and I painted the SS inserts Torch Red. It's subtle but different..I like it.

It's your car,paint em the way you want. :D

My brothers 68 SS had 427 emblems, and my dad painted the "SS" grill emblem insert a bright yellow... Stood out from the blacked out grill a little more than white...

After spending 4 hours stripping the white paint from the emblems, I have decided to leave the chrome. I think they will look a little different but still match the "overall" look of the car. There is pretty much nothing stock on this thing.
Thanks for the thoughts.

1971 SS396 4 hours????? should have hit them with a can of aircraft stripper, would have made quick work of the white paint, thats what i did to mine on my old (RIP) 69 camino. now you know for next time graemlins/beers.gif

To those who have repainted theirs...

How did you do it? Did you use a small brush, like an artist's brush? Do you clear them afterwards?

I used Testors white paint and a fine tipped paint brush. It worked for me and it's still holding up good after a year and a half. Just take your time.
