Default Blacked out emblems.....Pics inside

So I love how it looks on the supra. So I did it on my SC300

Price $7.85

I went and got at walmart:

1 can of Rustoleum Metalic Black night Metalic
1 can of krylon Crystal Clear Gloss

Already had floss around so used that with a old credit car to take out the emblems.


I really like how it came out. I didnt want them black so I went with this color. Its liek a gunmetal color but metalic. I sprayed it twice and glossed it 1 time. Right now Im trying to find a 3m double tape to put them back on. Also waiting for them to dry 100%. I just put the to take a pic. They are not in all the way in the last pics. How you guys like it?

Looks good, but honestly it will look better on dark colored cars.
For white cars, I would go with chrome.
Great job painting them nonetheless.

Thanks for the feedback. I Like it. Itll stand out from other SC lol Plus when I get it repainted maybe Ill removing them all.

Just finished putting them on. Had to use some epoxi glue. Its super dark outside. Im sure in the AM I will see the extra glue coming out. Ill have to carefully remove it. But it came out nice. Il take pics tomorrow.
