Consistent with Buck's research, it is red. In addition, it appears to be a sort of translucent inlay flush with the finished badge surface. I will share that until this question was raised, I believed the badges on my own car had black lettering. But very close examination revealed remnants of the original red. Red paint or fingernail polish, even with a clear coat, would not seem a very good substitute for the original inlay. If anyone can suggest a suitable way to renew this lettering I expect quite a few would be interested in hearing it.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1469288045976_45475"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1469288045976_45477"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>Disclaimer - presented is one badge.
