Hey Guys,
'88 Z52 Coupe, Dark Red. What color should the stock CORVETTE lettering between the tail lights be? From GM it comes unpainted, so I'm thinking it should be painted the same color as the car. I'm getting the new (to me) Targa painted next week, and having the nose and tail shot while I'm at it. Figured the ratty looking emblem needs to be done at the same time. Thanx, Mark |

Ya ever thought about going this route Mark????
[IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g135/flyinlow90/VettePics023.jpg[/IMG] I put the SS Corvette letters on mine and tossed the OEM Badge. It would look good on your color too. Just a thought. (Sorry thought I had a better picture) Gary |

In raw unpainted form, that emblem youre talking about is white or close to it. Itll be ready to go straight on the car as you received it, should be black with silver outline.

Okay.
Black with Silver outline. Mine had been painted all black at some point (and not very well) so I had to ask. Thanx! |

I though it was supposed to be black - outlined by the body color? On my 88 it is this way |

The plastic they are made from is white, you can take my word for it if you like, or just look at the pic below:

How about filling the holes and having it painted on in any color you want? That's what I did,,

My 85 is dark metalic bronz and the letters are all black except on the edge some white shows where it has worn through. Sure that it is original.

If you look at the Corvette brochures of the day, you can clearly see the body-colored outline around the letters.
It's a stepped thing: the body color outline lettering is raised and than the black CORVETTE lettering is raised further. I'll try and come up with some pictorial examples of some low mileage cars ... |

Yeah, I just ordered one yesterday from one of the usual suspects with the Dark Red background and Black lettering.
Thanx! |
