Emblem painting on a Black Z

Osiris · 08-11-2012, 09:51 PM

well, believe it or not, the car you see in the pics was involved in an accident!! So, as they "reparied" it i had them just paint the emblems at the same time. But really, if you remove the emblems yourself and take them to any body shop, i doubt they'd charge much to paint them as long as you'd give them the color code.

Have you posted any pics?

How much did the emblem/door handle run you?

this actually looks pretty good, I was thinking of getting mine painted the same color. I think glossy black looks much better than plasti dip does.

Looks sick. Question.. do they pop off? If I want to paint them, do I have to order new ones

This thread is five years old. Most of these people probably do not even own their cars anymore.

Please do not wake up old threads. If you have a question, PM the OP.

If you click on their name and view their public profile, you can tell if when they were on last, and if they are still active. You can also massage them this way.

Don't take this the wrong way but if you have to ask that question then you should probably have someone do it for you.

Or go with something more unique

I ordered a set in pearl white with black Nissan writing.

I'm surprised why wrinkle finish(black)is not used more.
This paint is extremely durable.Design wise,wrinkle gives a
texture to your car.On black,it compliments the body color.
I used black wrinkle as an accent on my z33.Great on radiator tops(heat resistant).
It also gives a hi-tech look to your car.
The only negative is application of wrinkle paint. It is available in spray cans.
The cost is rather low. The trick for an even finish is the use of a heat source like
strong sunlight or a light source(spot light bulb) after applying. Care must be taken to
apply the paint in even layers or the wrinkle will be uneven.
IMO,the results are great.
