Re: Cam Cover Emblems
I did the heat test today cranked it up to 400 and paint held up...although this is not a complete test as it is not warming and cooling. I decided that I am going to coat in high temp clear.
Also I noticed that the edges on the outer ring on some samples were sticking out too much, this was keeping the emblem from sitting perfectly flush. I am going to have them take .25MM off the edge and these will be perfect. This is a simple fix but I would rather avoid quality issues. |

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Well, I am testing coatings, I added the emblems to my 90 ZR-1, one side completely coated in VHT ceramic paint, and the other in wheel paint, but I did not coat the checked flag or the red.
So far both held up through a 30 minute drive...no bubbling, yellowing or other. I hope to have completed more coating testing prior to the final revision. Interesting note, the cam emeblem provisions from left to right, drivers side is bigger, passenger side smaller. The current version I have made fits perfectly on the drivers side, passenger side is slightly too large(which is why they are modding) |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Wow, those really look good! Nice work in tweaking them to get the just right! When you are ready to take orders, I'm definitely in. :)

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
You have gone way beyond the call of duty on getting these things done. A true asset to this small community. THANKS :thumbsup: I'll take 3 sets for a 95'

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
You can add me to you list for a pair for my '94.
|
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
If this is the official order list, please put me down for a pair of 90 emblems. If you are not ready yet let us know when to order and how to pay. Thanks for your efforts.

Looks like you need to sell a right and left side emblem to have perfect fit on both sides. Great work :thumbsup: |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Lee,
Please put me down for 2 for my 90. Thanks for all your efforts :cheers: Jeff 90 ZR1 |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
I'd do 2 sets depending on the price for a pair of 91 Zs. :wave:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
90 Emblems should be in production in a few days, the 91-95 are going to take some work. Looks like painting the chevron will be difficult, and I need to pay them a separate fee to retool ........good chance the chevron will be recessed in a red outline.
They should have a few proposed solutions in the near future. |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Well, I have logged about 100 miles with the emblems on....one side is VHT 2K degree clear over the entire emblem. The other is only VHT clear on the outside of the emblem, and none on the red banner or checkered flad.
No yellowing or peeling on either. Car also sits outside so subject to damp, etc. Both look the same as the day they went on. Just waiting on 90s to be finsihed with slight mods and then shipped. |

Re: Cam Cover Emblems

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
400 miles, no peeling on the uncoated banner, no yellowing or peeling on the 2000 degree VHT clear. I ended up sending a damn video to get my point across to my asian friends, they get it so hopefully they will be done soon.......version 2 emblems are in the mold process.

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
What is the latest on the 95 emblems? Sure been a long time :dontknow:

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Yes, they are slow I was not going to post anything until they were in my hand, but here goes. I will take delivery of 100 emblems for the 90s on 9/23.
Price uncoated will be $16 per plus shipping and handling. If you want VHT 2K degree coating they will be $18.00 per plus shiping and handling. If you use paypal, I will charge the going rate for the transaction, which I believe is .80 per emblem. I will warranty them for 30 days, the uncoated will carry no waranty but I will work with you if they don't fair well. I have had a set of coated on my 90 for 1200 miles and the car has sat outside for 3 months. No issues. The Gen II I have not seen yet, but I have been charged for a mold charge, which means they have the mold done. The chev emblem outline will be recessed as this was the best way to control the red outline. I will let everyone know once I have the emblem and verified they fit. I will then set up a system for payment etc. Thanks for your patience. |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Lee,
I installed the emblems on my 1990. They fit perfectly and look great! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanks, Jim |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Thanks Jim,
I have been sweating this whole thing out. This is my first venture into something like this and my biggest concern is 1)making a product that lasts and is of quality 2)Not taking away from my family by spending a lot of $ on something that is a bust. I appreciate everyone's support. Thank You |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Thanks Lee. paypal sent..

Re: Cam Cover Emblems

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
all i can say is wow! :jawdrop:
Thanks for your effort Lee! Mine came a few minutes ago. Guys, These are spectacular....if you need them go for it! I doubt you will have any second thoughts after you see them in person.:thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanks again Lee! :cheers: Tom |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Just confirmed with the vendor who does the communication with manufacturing, when they said 160 degrees was the max temp, they meant C not F....so not sure I need to coat these if they are good for 320 degrees. I will coat them for now and test a few without.
Note Below: Here are the temps for the paint. We used soft enamel on your emblems (we use soft enamel only, since we can't use dying black plating for the real enamel). Epoxy: 120 Celsius Soft enamel : 160 Celsius Imitation hard enamel: 100-120 Celsius |
Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Thanks Lee, they look great...

Re: Cam Cover Emblems
Broke even on my cost for the 90s today:mrgreen:
