Plymouth Graphic? Gloss Black, Silver Metallic or White?
« on: May 25, 2015 - 02:54:57 PM »
This is a mock-up I printed on paper and taped on for a Plymouth Graphic on my front spoiler.
The white on black looks good but I'm thinking about Gloss Black or Metallic Silver instead.
The Silver would go with the argent and chrome while the Gloss black would be a little stealthy but still there if you look.
Thoughts?

Thanks,
Randy

I say argent is there any way to cut between the M & O to have it contour better to the spoiler ?

Alan, I'm sure that I could cut it in half as you suggest and then set each half to follow the bottom of the spoiler instead of straight across.
Easy enough to try. I will play around with it.  :2thumbs:

It would not be exactly in half though since the center would cut through the end of the "m"...

Silver, unless you can match the white of the licence plate. Then white 'might' work.

Found these on Ebay which is where I will order them when I decide on the colors.

Will have to get the Silver and Gloss Black for sure but maybe the red too...
Maybe I should make a small lower case "by" to put just above and left.

Gloss Black would be a nice, it won't attract the eye like a commercial sticker and as you say  whoever pays attention to the spoiler will see it...

Metallic Silver. Looks white in the picture though. You can tell it's metallic silver in person.
Well I guess I should keep my day job... Didn't quite get it lined up. It was hard to tell with the top paper on it.
It's ok though. I'm going to order another one and just replace the "outh" and line it up better.  :faint:

These emblems were available only a few years ago. I bought one that looks original.
I'm wondering if Jaimie at Mega Parts or Dave at Roseville can look into if they'll be made again.
