Hey guys, before any gives me any crap, this is my mom's car, she's 50, so she likes gold

here's a before and after, I did all 4 emblems, used duplicolor's gold paint, sanded, cleaned, painted. I searched on here and doesn't look like any one's tried this stuff, i think it turned out grrrrreat!

Before:


After:

 

good job, but doesn't it need a shiny gloss?,the finish looks somewhat flat.

 

I was going to put some clear on it, but i decided i liked it better without that crazy gloss, it does have some shine built in, i'll see if i can take some better pics!

Lookin' good man. guess you didn't come up with much on that ebay search, eh?

innovation is the name of the game, good job.

ps- creative masking job!

Welcome to the Show

 

I am doing me emblems in a few weeks. Is it hard to take them off the car is that why you did it on there ?
I am going with a blacked out theme for my car ( Black SC400 with 5% tints )
I found a 3 stage paint called Ice. It is like a chameleon paint that goes from black to silver, but mostly black. remove sand paint, 3 steps, clear and replace. I will post the pics. Blacking out the amber part of tail light at at the same time ( 92 tails )

 

yeah they are kind of hard to take off, i didn't even want to bother, so i just taped them up.

 

better pic, but the sun screwed up the shot! This should be good enough

How can you even look at that bmw with that in the driveway?

oh i know, because it has OZ wheels


you should consider shelling out a few grand on an old sc3 five speed and going the supra route.

 

brian the car is my moms she's old, i dont think i'd ever own one myself even though i love the ride and the interior! My bimmer is far superior, but then again, how can i look at my bimmer when i have this in garage

 

you've never driven a TT powered SC3

i like the bike.

by the way isn't your bimmer a 325i? SC400's eat them for breakfast, now the M3 is an entirely different story.

 

yeah you told me that, i like my bimmer mostly because of the looks and the way it handles, speed... well there are a lot of faster cars out there

 

absolutely hands down on the 325i in the twisties. even stock. the sc has too much mass to sling to keep up. some highly modded sc's seem to have no problem takes some suspension work though. the sc is overall a pleasure to drive everyday. plenty of luxury and performance, but on the weekend i choose my modded 325i for fun mountain runs. no doubt.

 

i would recommend to put a clear coat on them because after they get weathered in about 2 months they will look like crap beleive me.

 

This is for the JDM Soarer fans, the photo dont do it justice as it's pure chrome with yellow/gold wings, whole thing is about 5" across.
