Are there any matching "GM Mark of Excellence" seat belt decals available? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to match the GM Mark of Excellence decals on my 72 Blazer but the color does not match on the decals I recently purchased. The lower lettering font is a little thin too.

One decal is missing and so I'm attempting to match the other four originals without replacing them all.

From what I can tell the buttons decals on 67 trucks were turquoise while 68-72 were blue.

Below is a photo of the decal I purchased compared to the original button showing the color does not match. Did the color on the original change? Is the aftermarket a poor match (the seller indicated the decal was for 67-91 GM vehicles). Do I have turquoise decals?

Are correct looking GM seat belt button decals available or is this something that needs to be purchased from a used original?

Not to be a smart @ss but maybe leave them in the sun for a while

Yeah... that thought did cross my mind that the originals may have faded from sun exposure. Putting the new ones out for 48 years to color match may take longer than finding one old one that matches the originals.

How many new ones do you have, I should have plenty but mine maybe aged more or less than yours.

I have 4 new and 4 old.
