I had a friend who is an art student restore the rear Vanagon GL and Volkswagen emblems for me. She did a really nice job painting them and then she clear coated them. If you are interested I could see if she would be willing to do some more. I have a bunch of faded emblems here so I would just get her to redo one of them and then exchange for yours. It would be about $59 each.
