"Firebird" gone(faded)

The "Firebird" lettering and the bird between the tail lights has faded so bady you can hardly tell it's there. Could this be fixed?

I already have the bird but for the lettering, I'll make you one out of vinyl if you can give me the pattern... just take a piece of thin paper, tape it tightly on the back over the "Firebird" letters, take a pencil on its side and "shade" over the lettering. This should produce a dark line/out line of the lettering exactly as it appears on the car. If you can do this and either mail it to me or email it to me at a scan of 1000dpi, I'll make one for you for free

Let me know.

Once I get the pattern by the pencil rubbing I can make it in any color. You can get the rest of the color off with some rubbing alcohol. I already designed the bird and the "Trans Am" and they came out real good!

so you already got the "trans am" and the bird emblem patterns? ie i wouldnt have to send anything to you?

and does anyone think it would look good to have this in body color assuming we can figure out how to match it close?

Paint Pen

I actually used a weatherproof paint pen. You can get real fine ones at Wal Mart. It took me about an hour and you definitely need a steady hand, but it still looks good after 2 years. Although vinyl stickers could be nice too, do they stay on well with continuous washing and the weather beating down on it? I think the silver looks so much better on my black TA than the factory red. Check it out:

Sounds like you should sell this for a low price. Everyone that has a fadded bird wants one, except those few peopl who for some reason want to remove the bird.

You can buy decals in different colors but I can't remember where. Someone should know.
