[satanspimp]

Hey,

just wanted to post a pic of the change I made to the rear logo, see what you all thought.

nice job on the mod! i like that a lot!

[Vmix06]

that looks really good did you make it yourself or have some place custom make it?

[satanspimp]

I actually made it myself, I cut out the scion logo portion and then used contact cement to fill in the gaps created by cutting it out. The t is obviously from the tC that I took off.

Probably a total of 4 hours work for cutting/painting etc. spread over 2 weeks.

[TBITB]

[ac3 b00gi3]

I am wanting to take my scion logo off front and back and paint them black and fill the letters in with white bc i have a white tC and i was wondering exactly how to remove them and what paint to use?

[punk2m1d]

flat head screw driver wrapped with a soft cloth so you don't scratch your paint.

[CurtisWyche]

I have put them back on with just black on them i will hand paint the white lettering but my problem is i lightly sanded them and spray painted them black but it came out not so smooth and ugly in my opinion. i mean they look ok but they dould look better. any suggestions on making them look smoother and not diy'ed and more professional

[punk2m1d]

Just hit it with primer, dry, paint, dry paint, dry, clear coat.

[CurtisWyche]

so do i sand off the new black paint i just did or just go over it?

[punk2m1d]

I didn't sand mine at all to begine with.

For you, I'd use a medium to fine grit sand paper. It'll get everything back to even, then you can spray the primer and paint on it.

[CurtisWyche]

oh ok. see i tried just painting with no primer and it wasnt grabbing so i sanded it a bit and kinda helped but it came out uneven and so now i am gonna try to know so of the paint off and start over with primer and still not sure hoe to get the letters white so yeah lol

[punk2m1d]

My clear coat wrinkled up on me so now I have to start over as well. I may just dunk m emblem in nail polish remover, or paint thinner to strip the paint, and leave me with a blank slate again. Damn you clear coat!

Yeah primer is a must on anything you paint.

[CurtisWyche]

Yeah well mine looks ok. i mean its my first time doing it and yeah i have no good way of applying the white in the lettering please give me insight and my clear coat is a satin finish :/ i will post photos. itlooks sick from 3 feet away but up close i dont like em. but they will do for nowand maybe forever lol idkyet

[CurtisWyche]

its a bit sloppy but i will keepp it for a bit at least.

[CurtisWyche]
