66 c-20 emblems

A farmer friend is going to give me a couple of c-20 emblems. The problem is that they are covered with some ugly blue paint. Any suggestions what to do? I will haves pics on Monday. Do I leave them alone or try to take the paint off? Thanks for your advice

No I have a 72 c-20. Just wondered what to do they look kinda cool. I do not want to damage them in any way

Re: 66 c-20 emblems

Originals are pot metal, basically a combination of scrap metal all put together. Pot metal is prone to break and pit badly. If you do thinner, don't leave them in there long.
