On the same note... I have always assumed these emblems started out with black paint in them, as they were the same stick-on variety of emblem used on all Yenko sold cars...then had the red white and blue painted on top of the black at Yenko... the original black paint on these seems to have been applied at whatever factory produced the die cast emblem, and it seems to be baked-on, (almost like its powdercoated) and is next to impossible to remove from an original emblem without some heavy-duty paint stripper (or 80 grit sandpaper!) The edges of the black painted, stick-on Yenko emblems are also black... On a Deuce emblem that was painted red white and blue, did the black "edging" still remain on the emblems, or was it painted white, or removed to bare chrome on the edge?
