rear emblem repaint(pretty sick)

[Styre]

You might want to wash it

 

[vastang757]

Yeah, but w/ all the rain we've been getting and all the leaves that are still on the roads I don't see the point

 

[Styre]

yeah washed mine saturday and it's raining now.

not my favorite, but the color of your car makes it look good. If it were a black car, it wouldn't match up well. What color is it though? Black Satin?

Thanks. Well, it's actually gloss black, but for some reason, it didn't come out as glossy as I would have wanted it.

I like the grille/fog light set up. looks good, where did you get it?

Thanks. Both I got off of ebay.

Thanks. Both I got off of ebay.

Is that a billet fog delete grille with the lights behind the grille?

 

[bronxbomba63]

Yeah, I think they called it a "Sports" grille or something like that. But it completely replaces the stock grille. The fogs I mounted on the frame behind the grille.

Did you use stock gt foglights? I ordered my grille last week so that's the plan with my car.

 

[bronxbomba63]

No. I got the fogs from some company (I forgot the name). But you can use the GT fogs. Here's a link to a MF member that did this.

Yes, it's a spray can. I used satin black Krylon.

Thanks but already did the job and it came out great love the new look.

Guys who did this. How much do you sand the emblem? or is it more just scuffing?

 

[Redfire_WNL]

I scuffed the emblem and then added 2 coats of primer and then let sit 6 hours then i sprayed with Dupli-Color spray paint. Let dry at least 4 hours before touching it and putting back on car or it might smudge a little when pressed on.

Cool. Thanks. Got mine painted and it turned out pretty good.

What did you use to reattach to the car? I bought some 3m body panel double stick tape.

thats a little overkill. i let the emblems sit for 45 mins after hitting em w/ primer. waited another 45 mins after painting then let em sit for an hour after putting the clear on before putting them on the car and i had absolutely no issue or concern about smudging

 

[bronxbomba63]

Same here, I let the primer sit for about an hour before I sprayed it with color. Then another hour after clear, before putting back on car. No smudges what so ever.

 

[Redfire_WNL]

Maybe because it was cold outside and i was doing in shed but i didn't mean 6 hours after primer i meant to put an hour and then spray with paint. Then i let sit for 4 hours but by all means do it how those guys did it, i just wanted to be on safe side.
