Sign painters "One Shot" is great paint for that kind of thing. Most car and truck guys know of Eastwood, last I knew they carried it. I'm sure a lot of ebay stores have it though. It flows on even better when thinned sparingly with "Penetrol".
I was a sign painter for many years and repainted a lot of emblems for local restorers. Never had any complaints.
Sorry I don't post much, but I still don't own one of the great GMC's from this era. Still love all the old GMC's though!
