Black and red emblem

370zleeper · 05-09-2014, 05:33 PM

I'd like to know where I can get a black nissan emblem with red lettering for the back of my 370z? I can find the front badge all day long on ebay. Can't locate the rear. Photo attached

Yea I've worked with plasti dip before. Problem is it shallows out the letters plus I'm tired of having to reapply plasti dip every time I accidentally hit my emblems with a towel when drying the car off or taking wax off. Just wondering if they made a rear one already painted like this front one.

Genius with the fingernail polish!

You could have the black painted. And then do the letters red (red vinyl is another thought I had.)

or you can paint the emblem red and then plastidip the emblem then peel out just the letters

p.s. if you dip them right it shouldn't peel off while drying with towel.

Yup, remove the emblems and paint them black off the car. Nail polish or red paint with a small brush should do the trick. 3m tape them back on the car and you're done

another trick would be to paint the letters then fill just the letter indentions with something like silly putty. paint the rest black and when dry, just remove the silly putty.
