Cool Painted My Badges and Some Other Fun Stuff :)

Hey guys I decided to make the S look as clean as possible since she is a white one so I went a head and stripped her down I removed the S2K badges from the sides and gave it come clear markers, then I removed that horrid red pinstripe as well as the windscreen tape. After that I removed and painted the hona badges flat black and finally gave her a fresh coat of wax she's a year old in two weeks and she has almost 12K on the clock. These pics are not touched up in photoshop at all, the only thing I did was esize them and blur my plates and house number enjoy!!!

Nice it looks clean.
Hmm I was going to buy the JDM badges or the Silverstone badge to match my car but maybe I should go the same way.
I love the finish.
What paint and finish or w/e did you use for it? And where'd u buy em?

I just envisioned your car with white rim to go with your b/w scheme, it was heavenly.

I wish I was kidding about the red pinstripe but the dealrs down here have a bad taste of style....the S2K badges were a HUGE PIA and I mean HUGE....such a big pain I didn't bother putting the new blask ones on the car lol but it was worth it....SO clean

--------

I purchased duplicolor flat black trim paint from auto zone for the top coat and I primed it with normal auto primer after I scuffed them up with 400 grit and then 800 grit 2 coats of each

--------

I also just creamed my pants

--------

I actually have the black logos here but I didn't put them on as even though they looked nice it took away from how clean it looks

--------

MOAR PICS!!!!
