They look sick on the white. :tup:

I'm thinking about getting these burgers for my Mag Black one... :icon08:

daisuke149 03-25-2011 10:11 PM

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. :shakes head:

:tup: :rofl2:

So these weren't the prefab black chrome ones you can order? Interesting... :icon08:

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 :tup:

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

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 03-25-2011 10:44 PM

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.
