a1bummer Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Anybody have any good ideas on how to fix the gold chrome that's flaking off our old emblems? I tried some gold model paint but didn't like how it looked. I used Some Top Flite MonoKote Gold ChromeTrim, (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHX85&P=7), and it looks ok, but not as good as I would have liked. Not sure how well it will hold up to the weather, wind, and washing either.
Guest Ken8143 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Same problem and same rix and same lack of results.
MidlifeVenture Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 On my 81 wing I sanded them sooth spray painted them with gold chrome paint then used gloss black model paint and a fine brush and a pointy tooth pick to do the edges that were originally black and finished with a couple of coats of clear coat.
a1bummer Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Looks good. I have some extras laying around. I'll have to try what you did and see how they look. Thanks.
gscbertrand Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 I bought a new set from yamaha about 5 seasons back when I put on the new paint, they looked great, until the first scratch.
