well, these are OEM emblems / fairladyz and then sprayed/painted by Spencer. Hes the guy who sprayed my tail lights, did my tint and was also at the march 19 Southeast meet.

and thanks : ) i agree they look great on white. It was actually Spencers idea to do em up like this.

Well fine then! I take all the creative credit I gave to you, and forward it to him instead.



So these weren't the prefab black chrome ones you can order? Interesting...

nah, i looked around and couldnt find good feedback from anyone on any aftermarket emblems, so i decided not to go that route, esp since they were like 80$ an emblem.

Dude, when you took the emblems off to paint them, did you even remove all the adhesive? Not to be an ***, but the emblems look like **** up close because you can see the sticky **** that was left. Unless it's old wax that got dirty..?

yes, all adhesive was taken off. that stuff you see, is actually dirt from my drive home. I tried to wipe it off really quick before the pictures, but instead it just pushed it against corners where i couldnt get it. And i didnt bother to get a brush out haha

trust me, they are perfectly clean and no adhesive etc.

So yeah, just dirt, if the light came out better or details you can see a ton of pollen on there too. Left the car out for 30 minutes and it was almost yellow : /

Looks good

I spray-painted mine several times but just had them professionally painted, the paint makes a big difference and should last longer.

daisuke149

yeah def, this stuff should last without problems. if it ever has issues Spencer said he'd cover like his tints.. life time warranty.

Waiz

Oh nice, lucky you.

I was doing it myself and it was full of orange peel

daisuke149

ill just prove to you how bad i am at painting and how much i stay away from it..

what is orange peel?

Waiz

It's happens when the surface of what you're painting isn't prepped properly:



It looks terrible and can usually be sanded out but it's harder to troubleshoot on plastic emblems.

daisuke149

ahhh. yeah ive had that happen once when i tried painting something.

Also if you apply too much or not spraying perpendicular to what your painting.
