tried something new with the front emblem mod

[montyd]

so the p.o. of my mm painted the front emblem black. most of the paint had shipped of and it looked terrible so i pulled it off and sanded it down with some 320 grit sand paper intending to repaint it. turned out awesome i think. it looks like brushed aluminum and the mercury is now black and so is the inlay behind the m. then i cleared it, im torn on clearing it but its done now lol. it looks awesome both ways i think. what do you guys thing?

Nice touch!

Very Nice.

Not to highjack but there are a lot of little things you can do for next to no$$'s if you really put your mind to it!


Again - Great Job on the "brushed" finish!

well heres what i actually ended up with, after i cleared it with urethane clear the old rattle can black was un happy and wrinkled. lol. so when i stripped the thing back down it ended up the chrome under the black had never been sanded and looked pretty cool too. the guys i work with talked me into leaving it.

How did you strip it?

[HiHoSilver]

The original post looks really good!

[montyd]

I didn't strip it, I just stripped the black paint I sanded the chrome to get the look thats in the pictures

[ajdereicup]

It looks really good. Now you need you make the rest of the chrome on your car have the "brushed" appearance to match;)
