Black Chrome Emblems
 
Well, I have been working for a while on trying to find a way to "blacken out" chrome without damaging it's "shinny" abilities and I have done. It took me many tries and diff products, but I finally was able to do it :D

Here is the result:

what did you use just glossy black spray paint?

Rooz 04-29-2005 02:18 PM

lol, nah, that wouldn't do, notice how you can still see some of the chrome... regular paint would just cover the all thing, I sprayed it with some spray tint that I bought on ebay. Right now the clear coat is drying... once it dries it will go on my car

lol, thx, I tried to keep it somewhat in level with both the top of the trunk and that little edge on middle of trunk, but I mean it's the same way as the older one was (notice the masking tape)

bmw4life 04-30-2005 08:16 PM

It looks different which is a good thing. I have never saw emblems like that before. Are you gonna tint your tails?

i think you should have gone red.
