I want to repaint the V8 logo on my 1940 Std horn button .

I have a NOS one on my V8 coupe and I would call it more maroon than a bright red.

I would expect this detail along with other specific paint details and original paint codes for 1940 cars are available in the 1940 restoration book by Michael Kubarth. Please let us know what you find.

Vermillion Red is the color, I think. It looks like the same color used on the 1940 Deluxe trunk emblem. Look here:

DO NOT USE NAIL POLISH AS IT WILL DISSOLVE THE PLASTIC BUTTON.
