Default Emblem Blackening out before and after pics.

These are some before and after pictures of my emblem and letters being painted black with Plasti Dip. The credit all has to be given to Wearegiant, which is a member of this forum that advised everyone on how to blacken the emblem and letters on your car. Please leave me some feed back on whether you like how it came out or not. Thanks!

Lmao! The Miami Heat are going to the NBA Finals this year, but the team to beat still is the L.A. Lakers.

too much black on a white car, I like the car when it's fully white (stock), but that's just me.

screams out "trying too hard"

don't get me wrong, contrast is nice but has to be done more subtle...well i guess we all have our tastes ;pk


ps: why isn't this in plastidip thread? don't think another thread is needed just for b4/after shots
