If your elco is like mine (hell I dont know all elcos might have some sort of trim) But I noticed that around my body, the little plastic trim (Chrome in color and black on the inside) seemed a little faded. So using my 17 year old mind I came up with an Idea... SHARPIE!!! I used it all around, even around the tail lights and blinkers. What a difference! It looks 10 times beter because now the little black detail actually makes a contrast and makes the paint stand out so, tip

Sharpies are like ductape. they work wonders

Yeah, Sharpies and Testors Flat enamel model paint work well for old emblems.

Creativity is a requirement for ownership of any Elky, seems you're on your way!

Happy
