<div>Again, thanks to all who replied to my post re: BJ8 front badge! I now have changed my mind (or whats left of it!) and think I will go with the painted badge look, using my original. I do love the look of the cloisonne, but...my 40045 probably was either
painted or "all chrome" to begin with. The background is not brass colored or pebbly and the script top edges are rounded so back to Chris Collins at High Point Body and Paint for a professional job. He did my recent total paint job and the results were
extra fine! Yes, that was a shameless plug for Chris. <br clear="none">

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;">For a component that is easily replaced it's hard to say 50+ years later what was original. But the evidence I've collected in the BJ8 Registry for 8,788 BJ8s (49.6% of total production),
says that the painted or all-chrome badges were used throughout production. The parts manual is no help because only two part numbers are given: one for BJ7 and one for BJ8. I always thought the "all-chrome" badges were simply ones for which the paint had
flaked or worn off, but some claim their cars had them from new.</span></div>

<div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Anyway, the painted badges in general began to appear consistently about chassis 39XXX but like so many such changes it was not done cleanly so both painted/chrome and vitreous enamel
continued together after that point.</span></div>

Hi Gary, If your BJ8 is a very late model the badge may have been painted. I used to own car 43014 and learned in a concourse showing that the original was painted, not cloisonne. I don't know on what car # they changed to painted. Aloha, Jim</div>
