restoring chrome die cast/pot metal emblems
Have a pair of orginal motion valve covers that I want to restore, wondering how to safely get the black background paint off the emblems to repaint without damaging the chrome on them. Any tips appreciated. SULLY

I would say to soak them in Lacquer Thinner. Should remove the paint pretty quickly, and wont damage the chrome.

Re: restoring chrome die cast/pot metal emblems
Anybody know where to get an emblem recast? Need to get my Sunderland Chev. emblem redone for the '69 Nova.
