Emblem restoration shots

 Stripping an old plastic insert emblem

 The picture on the left is a typical emblem as we receive it.  Notice how the paint or coloring is flaking off or fading. The plastic itself however, seems to be in good condition.  This is an ideal candidate for a restoration.  The picture on the right shows what sometimes happens to an emblem during the stripping process.   Why does this happen?  We don't know.  But we do know that old plastic is very temperamental, and trying to guarantee the outcome of a restoration is impossible.  Therefore we regret that plastic emblem restoration is not guaranteed to be successful.
