V8 Grill Emblem - painted?

My emblem chrome is shot and am looking for images/colours of v8 grill emblems for a 56 that folks have painted to get ideas. I am thinking I want to paint the V black and the 8 red to sort of match the front hood emblem. The truck has a chrome grill and will be a light grey.



I already sanded it smooth.

I think I saw seconds with a blemish you can't see for sale on eBay about half price what Carpenter or Midfifty sells them for.

I bought a seconds V8 on eBay for half price for my 55.
