You know come to think of it my truckmight look nice with white GMC emblems, i have 4 so it could be unique, (grille, taligate, and side badges) I would probly just tape and apply with a REALLY small brush. my gmc is much smaller than the new ones so if its not perfect it would be hard to tell.

I think yours would look good white also, I painted my bowtie white last night. Will re-install it this afternoon after work. Of course there will be picks. :thumbs:


the 1980 GMC i had i painted the grille emblem to match the truck (firebird yellow) and also the one on the tailgate, looked sweeet!

Thats an awsome truck you should paint the gmc emblems the color of the graphics on your truck or that wouldnt be noticable enough mabey:dunno:

yeah thats probly not as noticable, kind of a purpley-burgundy, kinda dark. white would REALLY stick out.

Chrome or mirror finish that should stand out:lol:
