I finally got one of the Bel Air trunk emblems\/handles from a friend and it was in pretty decent shape (no pits in the chrome) but the plastic emblem inside was a bit faded.

As you can see from the before and after pics below, it turned out pretty nice, if I say so myself. It&#8217;s not show quality, but then I&#8217;m aiming for driver quality for now.<\/p>\n<p>Down the road, who knows?&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-860\" title=\"Bel Air trunk emblem before paint\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my55chevybelair.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-before.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-before.jpg 400w, http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-before-300x54.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-861\" title=\"Bel Air trunk emblem after paint\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my55chevybelair.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-after.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"72\" srcset=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-after.jpg 400w, http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/emblem-after-300x54.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to take advantage of the time without my 55 Chevy at home and work on some cosmetic things.
