Here are several photos of the NOS emblem for painting layout. It appears that the factory "ink stamped" these emblems. This NOS emblem is very brittle and all but shatters when dropped, if it is or was a flexible urethane at any point in it's life it definitely is not anymore. The brokenn pieces appear to be a solid resin internally. The exterior almost felt somewhat flexible but it snaps like glass when tested. It may have been an "endura" resin when new but has since solidified.

The silver and black colors appear to be very low sheen, satin like but 50+ years in a box the ink most likely has degraded. The colors do not scratch or chip like paint would and it definitely is a topical application, not two different colors of resin for the emblem is all the same color at it's core.
