I just cleaned the entire bowtie with naptha based lighter fuel and wiped dry. Carefully masked off the chrome bezel and applied three coats of black metallic Dupli-Color enamel. Came out nice. Did the same to my 2012 Chevy Silverado a couple of years ago. It has held out well and looks better than vinyl overlays up close. Here's a shot of the Camaro bowtie:
 And here's the one I did on my truck:

I say vinyl or plastidip. The most cost effective and non permanent. I just did my wife's truck with gloss black vinyl. Got it on eBay for around 7 bucks shipped for a 1'x 5' roll.

Hobby Lobby sells small 12"/12" squares of all colors of vinyl ..just cut a piece a little larger than needed,,then pull off the backing stick it over bow tie then trim around the inside chrome edge with razor knife..
Cost @ $.97 plus tax. Last edited by Jcm; 05-05-2014 at 11:38 AM. |

I did the vinyl but did not like how it turned out so I went with this - http://www.chevymall.com/2014-Camaro...462/4313|4314/

As for the OP, I bought some GM black touch up paint from advanced auto. It has a brush that is like a nail polish brush that I used to paint mine. Super easy and if you get it on the chrome by accident it comes right off. |

carbon fibor overlay, $10 for a sheet the size of a sheet of paper. Just like vinyl, very easy to use.
