Also the emblems on the car are gold, and they're starting to fade, i was wondering what color do you think i should paint them. The car is red(burgandy)...Thanks everyone....

have fun removing the pin striping , it will take a while and for the badge, i found that a little heat and just by rubbing it off with your finger works fine.

I bet if you paint the emblem black it would look hot. Or just take it off.

I used a hairdryer and it didn't take that long. Just be sure to keep the dryer moving or you may burn the paint. DOH.
