Does anyone know where or if you can get vinyl overlays that cover only the gold part of the bowtie, and don't look cheap. I'm trying to black out my emblems, and windows. Also if anyone has any other ideas, let me know.

 

paint that ****, its easy

 

either take off the bow tie or just tape it off and paint it.

I used the non primer matte black paint

 

ebay

 

Paint it.

 

I already searched Ebay, and I found nothing for the cobalt, they had them for the HHR, but I'm guessing its a different emblem, and they looked like ****, the didn't go all the way to the outside. does anyone have pics of them painted, and how hard are they to take off the car?

 

Pop the hood and look behind the grille. There are two small nuts holding it on for the front one.

Debadge the back.

 

easy.. dont know if there is a how to or not.

If not, just tape it off with news paper

 

did you have to lightly sand to get the paint to stick good, or does the paint stay on pretty good with just a few light coats?

 

there is a how to somewhere, paint it X10000

 

I just did three coats. I never sanded but some people do. I chose not to and turned out fine.

I do three to four coats. Just as long as it doesnt run

 

any suggestions on type of paint? Did you use a vinyl and plastic paint, or just cheap indoor/outdoor?

 

krylon non primer

 

Alright, thanks. I'm going to attempt it this weekend. I take it the back bowtie comes off the same way? Any other ideas on blacking my car out?

 

I use a heat gun to take the back one off...

 

IMO be better to just tape everything off.

 

paint it! ima a noob and it came out grate!




All I did was use the How-To on this site. This was the easiest mod I ever done to my car.

 

I used metalcast paint on mine. Been a year and still looks alright.
