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.

lol, i dunno. i was thinking possibly glow in the dark paint to look like illuminated door plates. jk. thinkin about smokin the tail lamps but the last thing i want is to get pulled over so im not sure if im gonna be doing that one. well see. maybe my rear bumper. my car rolled backwards and bumped a car which left license plate screw gouges on it. u can see in the last pic where i tried to touch it up using some silver that was obviously not the same color.
