my first mod, blacked out emblems
So I've been getting the itch to finally do something to my car, but I'm afraid of anything too complicated so I decided to hit my emblems with some black paint. I liked the finish of the AC vents that Meteorite_Marty used so I went and grabbed some Krylon ultra flat black camoflauge spraypaint and got to work.
Pretty simple process, removed emblems with a light guitar string and a plastic paint scraper, leaving no scratches in the paint. Gave them each a light sanding first. I put about 5 coats on each emblem just to be sure I didn't miss anything and here's the end result. Don't look at all the bugs on the front... I almost didn't do the Yaris nameplate but I think it looks ok, and I like people to know what kind of car I have. Like I said it was an easy process and I encourage people who want to look a little different to do it. The paint matches the rest of the black pieces on the car well.
