    K5 Silverado Emblems

    I picked up an 85 K5 Silverado. It is missing one emblem on the back quarter. I picked up a nice pair from craigslist. I would like to repaint them before I put them on. Any suggestions on paint? Also there is a gasket that goes behind it. Any idea where to get this gasket? Thanks in advance.
