I used a Scotch bright pad and Mothers mag wheel polish to clean the exposed aluminum stripe. Then I fixed any dents and tweaked it until it was straight. These are parts that have to be handled with care. These panels are fragile. I cleaned the panel with lacquer thinner, then masked off the stripe with fine line tape. I used Rustoleum satin black paint on the panel. I carefully removed the tape before the paint cured. I installed the new emblems the next day. Here is the finished product.
