You said you couldn't find the other set of 'Camaro' letters, did you already have another set or did you just not bother searching ebay? Either way, painting them is definitely the way to go. I had white vinyls before and they sucked. Started peeling and bubbling after a few months, so I painted my letters as well. Should last much longer. What kind of paint is the silver, just plain ol' spray paint?

Don't forget that bondo absorbs moisture, so if you lay a bunch down and paint it it will harden but later absorb, crack, and cause any metal to rust quicker. Bondo is not suposed to be any thicker than a sheet of paper to just fill in low spots
