PONTIAC Emblem
Since nobody makes this emblem in gold I bought 1 on ebay and painted it. The gold was only available on the GTA's from what I understand.
Anyway I placed it per some of the pics in various books I have, can someone tell me if Im even close ?

Im not too sure about the Recaro cars. I used to have an 82 Recaro, and its emblem was silver. The car appeared to be all original and was never wrecked.

If there are not gold on the Recaros they should have been !
I dont think they were gold untill 1987, maybe a GTA guy can chime in. There is a repro company that makes all GTA emblems except this one, there were supposed to make this one too, I just got tired of waiting.

These are so faded on my car. What paint did you use? What kind of preparation did you do on the plastic?
Mine are gold too (under the little girl)

The badge is actually cast potmetal. I roughed up the surface and removed the rubber back. I painted it with model paint and 2 coats of clear then glued it on with crazy guy glue.

Thanks for the tips on refinishing the badge. I need to do this this spring.

Isn't the gold on his car apart of some special edition base Firebird appearance package? (Not the Sport Appearance Package) I remember hearing something about that on the '91-'92 base cars. It included the wheels he has instead of the Turbo Hi-Tech's and had gold badges.
