is there a DIY painting "H" emblem - Page 2

RGV-SI- · 05-13-2008, 12:33 PM

do you guys think I could powder coat the emblems?

^ i think it might have to be metal not sure though. because the metal gets negatively charged and the powder is positively charged or something like that. even if you could when you bake the parts they would melt

a putty knife if you have one, and some tape to protect your paint. be sure to remove all of the old adhesive before putting new adhesive on.

do we HAVE to take out the whole bumper or is there anyway to get it off without having to?

i used an sos pad....worked well, i would suggest some sort of adhesive before the paint i forgot what it is called but it will eliminated a lot of the rock chips....flat black looks weird with the NHBP.....use duplicolors metallic black

take off the whole bumper

i used caliper cleaner to degrease it and then i added 3 coats of color without sanding or priming and 2 coats of clear and it came out great on the front and back

the only timew i use primer is when i'm working with wood or something

but it can only help so i would recommend it

honestly, the best way is to use a soft grip on a hammer or rubber mallet and push it through from the inside of the trunk

well friend i really appreciate your opinion here especially since i have a galaxy grey grill with a jdm type r h on there, and it looks amazing, not to bash you or anything, but in MY honest opinion is that to take oem and blend it in such a way that is seamless is wonderfully crafty

now back to the origional topic

he was talking about a red grill not emblem lol I think most of us can agree that a red grill would be rather cheezy

the person who thought of the idea wanted to see what people thought
