Thumbs up My custom Z28 emblems. GREAT

Ok, these are just plain friggin' awesome to see in person. I didn't know how it would turn out, but I am amazed to say the least. I have even decided to do my CAMARO fill-ins in the same manner. I cut the "Z" out, polished it, and sprayed it with red anodized paint, then cleared it really thick. The metal must be polished before it is sprayed, otherwise it will not have an anodized finish. I will go this route on the WS6 and WS7 badges as well. The results will be phenomenal. ANyway, feast your eyes:

I might have to throw mine in the trashcan. Those emblems are nothing without the red paint. Great Job!

You should see these in person. They are phenomenal! That pictures in no way capture how good that red looks. The finish is stellar.

Those look ******* stellar. I might be in on a set minus annihilator and metallic black instead of red.

Instead of annihilator, how about LS1 in it's place or whatever displacement you are running ie 5.7, 6.0 that would be sweet.

I can actually place any desired text within the space provided. Before I begin to sell these I will have to do a field test for at least 1 month or so to see how they hold up to the weather. In the worst case scenario, if they become blemished or damaged, they will just need to be refinished - there is no reason to replace them.
