Re: restoring front emblem
I repaired a radiator emblem for use on my speedster. Not a professional job but it looks nice for a driver. Some of the blue enamel was broken and missing. I went to the craft store and bought an art pencil to match the blue. I ground the colored "lead" into a fine powder and mixed it with clear epoxy. I used the colored epoxy to fill the defect. After curing I sanded and polished it back to a shiny finish. The plating was gone so the Ford script and border show bare copper. I sprayed on a coat of clear and left it at that. Again, not a professional job or completely authentic but it doesn't look bad.
