Hello - does anyone know how to paint the hood side emblems on a '62? My search has shown the color is Ford Red on the front, but were the side emblems painted at all? It seems to me that they might have been red where the emblems are ribbed to match the front. Were the FORD letters painted, or left unpainted? I'm attempting to paint these things - a project in itself. Were there emblem pads for these? There don't seem to be any available from what I've seen.

 

i read your post, did research years ago. The letters were silver leaf behind the plastic and red paint behind that.But now you can buy the insert at Carolina Classics, Carolina Classics, Obsolete Ford Truck Parts, truck part, ford truck part, truck body parts, classic truck part, pickup truck part, old truck part, classic ford truck part, antique truck part, old ford truck part, auto truck part, ford truck restorat
