If you mean the yellowish color on parts of the lower photo I think that may be what is left of the gold plating. The gold Packard used on the senior emblems was a very pale layer that apparently was plated on over the chrome. The first NOS emblem I bought was a very light yellow and not the deep rich gold color I typically associated with a quality gold plated item. I actually thought it was damaged when I got it but then read somewhere or someone explained that Packards gold was 18kt and light. For some reason it seems to rub off the chrome quite easily -- maybe when waxing but the hood piece seems to be particularly affected. Sun fading could be partly to blame but maybe the wind blast is another factor that helps makes short work of that one.

Not sure how they added the red. He did say that seal it so moisture doesn't get under the red.

Not sure if it's epoxy. Like we talked about. Or if it's re enameled.

The transparent red is cloisonne, the vitreous enamel applied as a paste and fired to fuse and bond to the metal forming the colored glass-like appearance. Its more permanent than ordinary enamel paint but easily chipped.

A bit more to the story of the emblems carrying 1956 part numbers; later factory replacement stock, even though under the original part numbers, were no longer cloisonn?. Also note the blue print for the trunk emblem shows the gold to be enamel, not plating though perhaps that could be the result of unfortunate word choice.
