Dave,
now I understand your question . . and your problem.You have already removed the black paint and where the black paint was it is now "green".
Assuming this is correct, all the polishing in the world will not fix it.
I do not believe your emblems were "chromed" below the painted areas you cleaned the paint off of.
. . I don't know what else to say, except to ask if you can take a picture and post it here for inspection. Can you?

The ones on my 98 4x4 are metal . . if that is any help to you. No, you can not have them, but I gladly share that information with you
