Hi, I restored an old one for my H. I found it at an auction on an old beat-up grill and the emblem was as rusty as the grill. I wire-brushed the emblem down and painted the whole thing with rattle-can aluminum. I then waited a few days to let the aluminum get really dry then I masked off all the letters and other raised parts using masking tape and cutting all the excess off the letters with an exacto knife. I then sprayed the black using a glossy-black rattle-can. It turned out looking pretty good. Only if you follow this procedure, please don't do what I did at this point. I very carefully layed my 'masterpiece' where I thought it would be safe, then promptly proceeded to spray some other loose parts with IH 2150 red and get overspray all over it. Sooo, I got to repeate the whole procedure from the wire brush to all the masking and trimming. Hope this helps,
Larry
