This is the before pic, notice how the red is beginning to deteriorate.

I purchased a use trunk lock to work on to rpelace this one.


THis is what the emblem looks like on the backside after removing from the trunk lock cover. This all needs to be sanded off, then worked up through the grits and a final polish to restore clarity to the lens.

After all the background has been sanded off, I worked through the grits then polished with plastX - much like you'd do with headlamps. Make sure not to scratch the chrome start inset

I sprayed the star's background black, and the surround candy red for a unique look.
I used candy apple red to duplicate factory color. Standard black in the center.

To achieve the pearlescent look of the stock emblem, I used some mylar film on the back. This worked excellent for this.

Final result with the chrome film trimmed.


This was just resting inside the spare trunk lock cover I had.

Here is a better picture I took about a year later, just came across it while cleaning out some old memory cards
