Emblem Restoration

[PeterBeh]

I need to have some original emblems restored as I am unable to source new ones for my 260Z 2+2 rebuild. Can anyone give me some advise as to where this can be done.

Which badges are they? The lower fender ones that have "260z" on them?

[PeterBeh]

Yes. Also the B-pillar emblems. Mine are the larger ones painted red in the centre.

Since some of this would involve plastic chrome I'd probably talk to these guys in SA.

Otherwise I'd probably Google search for companies that specialise in this sort of work.

But I suspect a lot of these guys don't really have a website.

I sold a set like these not long ago, for considerably less than that, but still $$$.

And then there is these..
