I was bored and painted the front emblem...

What do you think?




i sanded it down and first used a layer of rubber undercoating spray for texture, followed by 3 coats of Krylon ultra flat black.

No. Bad. Looks cheap and crappy. Sorry.

Not a fan. I could see color matching it, but I like the fact it kinda looks like metal. I'm a fan of metal emblems, like old school rides.
