Anyone know how to smoke the rear scion emblem? Anyone got a DIY? I'm too scared to experiment myself

 

I am planning on doing the front and the back. I was going to clean it, sand it (500 grit), and then have my friend spray it with a paint gun. Just did my hub caps and they turned out awesome (just for the winter and then spring on go the rims)

 

You can do it with a spray can and it will look great! I have done twenty on all kinds of cars (just remove and sanded)

 

I also did the front




sorry for bad pics

 

good pics actually! how did you do the front? does it remove the same way as the rear (floss and goo gone)?

 

Be aware there is a little surprise for you on the rear on the '08. There are two holes in the hatch with pins on the emblem.
There are a couple of threads about it around here. Here is one:

@ booosty:
I like it. Especially the rear on the SW.

 

I like your black front and back emblems. can't wait to this.

 

what kind of black did you use? ... and who makes it?... i like the color match on the front!

 

Haha, I didn't even try to color match the front, it just happened to be that way
For the black, I used Krylon Glossy Black Interior-Exterior spray paint
For the clearcoats I used Krylon Crystal Clear - CLear Satin Finish

I am planning to use the same paint/clearcoat to do my headlights next

 

It is exactly like the rear

 

great now i removed it but i dont know how to stick it back on... the ____ty double sided tape i have isnt water proof. damn emblem fell right off after i washed the car.

 

Go out to your local automotive store and pick up some 3M doublesided adhesive tape. It comes in a roll and is a couple mm thick. clean off the back of the emblem and the spot on the car. You'll have to cut the tape to match the shape of the emblem. It's a little bit of work, but I've used it countless times in the past and none of my emblems have ever fallen off. It's basically the same stuff that was on there before, only you have to cut it to the correct shape.
