so took the last 2 days to do a little alteration on my front grill emblem

Check it!

1st started with a few coats of Duplicolor SuperWhite paint. to match the car color and stand out from the black grill....


then i decided i want the "SCION" letter to stand out aswell so Black they shall be....then i did a few clear coats and WALA!




im gonna do the rear hatch emblem next week in Black with White lettering to give the same effect as the front. contrasting background/emblem/lettering.

what ya think!?!?!?!

 

came out clean, nice job

 

thats looking good

 

not bad

 

Looks good...goes well with the SW tC.

 

I did the same thing, just reverse. Looks good.

 

much props.. I wish the color of my car was worth painting my emblem

it looks clean man

 

Not too shabby

 

was it easy to remove and install?

 

hate to be the only naysayer... but I think I would like it more if the two shades of white matched. It doesn't look bad, just seems a little too white to me.

Just my 2 cents.

 

add some clear coat

 

is that sharpie?

 

I agree.

 

i kinda agree about the color thing but hey...there are only so many colors out there, never gonna find a PERFECT match because u gotta think its being sprayed ontop of the metallic stock color. and the name of the color on the can was "Super White" so i took the best one i could find. also my digital camera flash is very accurate on where is brightens...the colors are MUCH closer than the last picture shows...the paint had shows much brighter because of the flash on the camera...

and yes...good eye MPBROWN. it is Sharpie. i initially wanted to tape it off but that is 100% IMPOSSIBLE!

so i painted all of it...had the idea to use a FINE paint brush but that was a waste of time..so next best thing...black permanant sharpie..honestly you can NEVER tell if you are standing near the car and looking at it. only when eye to eye within 5inches of it.

 

I aint hatin' Just throwin in my opinion. Kudos to you for doing it yourself though.
