    INPUT ASAP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. SINCE I AM IN THE MIIDLE OF THE MOD AND LOSING DAYLIGHT

    So I'm in the middle of de-badging, painting emblems black, and re-badging. After 2nd coat of Black Krylon Fuzion, I realized I kinda like the look of the emblem speckled black. Take a look and let me know what you guys think. I think it gives it a unique twist and a rugged appeal especially against the SSM paint.

    Do it in flat black and then finish them with 2 coats of matte finish. They'll look better. See my gallery for pics.

    Well I ran out of daylight, but only for pics. Got all the emblems painted a speckled black....I like to call it "Tactical Black" (because I'm a geek like that)

    Here's a pic of the driver door I was able to get off before dusk. Came out looking like a gun metal, specially up against the Silver Streak Mica.
