Red07SSNA told me how to paint the back bowtie well still on the car. I know this might be over kill with newspaper but there a little wind out better safe then sorry :P

Pics so far:



Pic of front bowtie (took bowtie off when painted) I did last week:

 

wow...all you had to do is separate the bowtie from the chrome piece and leave the chrome piece on so you wouldn't have to worry about getting it centered when you reinstalled it. thats crazy that you would take that much time to mask it all off like that...i guess good luck and hope it turns out good btw black bowties on black cobalt = badass

 

thx yea that masking sucks took me an hour

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like you said, OVERKILL with newspaper. Hahahahahah.

 

lol ...........

 

rolf

 

I mean, i thought I went overkill with the newspaper.

Me and my Friend with a GTI both did ours the same day. It was a fun project.

 

Omg Lmao

 

nice job. haha I realized way overkilled after watching that

 

But then again, you were outside.

 

and little wind ^ . ^ black specs on my back windshield would not be good.

 

May be overkill but if you have the patience... more power to you. Better to be safe than sorry.

 

thx, that is the ideal I was going with :P

 

lol nice man hope it comes out good for you. wouldnt it have been easier to just like have a piece of card board hang off your trunk so it couldnt blow up to the window...

 

Thx, do not have cardboard and did not think of it lol

 

you sir is the first to ever do that, that i know of lol

 

no prob man. haha yea i probably wouldnt have thought of it if i were i actually doing it lol.

 

Custom...

 

 

Hmm anyone ever think of painting it red intstead? That would probably look tacky though..maybe black on black is better.

 

My girlfriend told me that I should of painted it white or something different. Hahahaha, little does she know.

 

Well it really depends on what you have in store for the long run. Is there ever gonna be any white on your car? Besides the bowtie? If not then yea...very tacky.

Reason im thinking red is cuz im gonna have red accents on my car in the future, and my rims might have a red lip also....but if i paint the bowtie red too..it might be too much red..so i might stick to black

 

Nice out come.

 

I know, thats why I said, "little does she know". Muwahahahaha.

 

Awesome. I've never seen anyone do that yet lol.
