Default Smoked emblems Pics

im happy with how they came out. a bit harder to get the right finish compared to the fog lights i sprayed. i wouldnt recomend doing this unless you have some paint experience or a 2nd set of emblems to practice on.

3 light coats of tamiya hobby smoke spray.
3 coats of u-pol automotive clear coat.
