Do they make "Camaro" decals to place onto the "Camaro" on the grille?

My grille is being painted white and I need the lettering to be black.

I would think any local sign shop could make you some.

personally I would paint it and clear coat over it vs doing stickers. But any shop that does vinyl cutting can cut it for you. Check ebay also.

Re: Do they make?

I can help. I do vinyl. ...problem is I don't have the size. I DO have the thirdgen CAMARO text. Fitting decals to indentations or raised/molded letters can be tricky. Is it painted yet? Can you take a rubbing of it? Lay a piece of very thin paper over the letters and rub a pencil across the letters. Mail it to me, and I'll make a decal.

Yes its painted and they just sent a picture of the grille. I can do a rubbing when I get the car tomorrow. I appreciate it!

No problem. Well not personally anyway! Sometimes raised letters and recessed letters CAN be a problem! If you look at that grill when you get it back, you'll notice that the letters are far less crisp than you might imagine. ...the few things like this I've done come out OK, but I've often had to make them a few times over to really get all the spacing right. The rubbing will help though, and we'll see what we can do. If it works out great I'll definitely keep it on file for future use!

I made a set of TOYOTA letters for my buddy's old pick up. It was a lot harder than you might imagine!!!! LOL
