finally got around to blacking out the bowtie... here ya go

please excuse the filth on my car, damn salt

 

looks nice....i like the black on black look

 

Loooks really good, I love how you kept the chrome border around the emblem, it looks a hell of a lot better then the people who just paint the whole thing.

 

Looks good

 

yea it ate up some time masking off the chrome but i like doing stuff like that, i love anything to do with my car.

 

lookin sweet man

 

thanks for the feedback guys...

 

hey i havent really played around enough with it but how hard is it to take off and on that front emblem?

 

you dont have to mask off the chrome. if you're careful and patient, you can pry the gold part off of the chrome part. its just a weak glue. then you paint the gold part, and re-glue it to the chrome part. thats how i did mine.

 

god damnit...ive been planning this for such a long time...i was hoping to be the first to do it...at any rate, atleast i have a pic of what it looks like...good job

 

awww man. That woulda been good to know before i spent like 20 mins masking mine off long ago

 

nice, I was planning on doing that but didn't know if the black with chrome would be too much black, but now I think it will match my painted headlights nicely.

 

yea i broke it the first time i tried so i had to order a new one... lol i had had a little to drink... so i got no excuses. i just decided to take the time and mask it off

 

When I painted mine I used paint made for lexan. I sprayed the entire thing, and when the paint dried, you could scrape it off the chrome part with your fingernail. It has never chipped or peeled off the center part.

 

that sounds cool... i just scuffed it, primered, spray painted and clearcoated... i hope it holds up anyways XM 42 kicks ass

 

sweet, the chrome makes it pop!.

later

 

i cant wait till its warmer out so i can do this to mine. looks awesome!

 

thanks for all the good feedback

 

looks good nice job
