Red and Black Emblems

I'm thinking of changing the gold and chrome chevy emblems to black and red. I have seen some Camaros with the black inlay with red surround but still retained the chrome outer Bowtie. Does any have a pic of a camaro with a black inlay and red surround (instead of chrome)?

Also, would red vinyl be to difficult to apply to the chrome portion of the emblems?

Thanks!

probably not. Just need to be careful and to take your time when you do it.

I think it would be difficult for the vinyl to conform to all the angles in the chrome part of the bowtie. I think the spray plastidip would be an option

That's what I was thinking, too many angles, but after seeing the pics posted, I think I'll paint the chrome red and the middle black.

White car w/red and black bowties bring back the awesomeness of the eighties and nineties of GM perform cars. Lol

We have them available with or without the autobot, click the link below:

We have attempted wraping the chrome part, but the vinyl gets wrinkled because of all the edges.
