    Still hard at work trying to perfect my process. I've decided acetone smoothing on abs yields the best results. Still working on how to have custom colored ones.

    I had gun metal grey trim before painting...looks almost exactly the same. Huge waste of time, but I learned a lot!

    Little project update. These ended up taking way longer to perfect than I thought. I'm finally going to start making a few I can sell.

    I've done so many tests:frusty:
    IMG_20181211_000135.jpg

    And I designed an overlay version so the OEM emblem can be left alone. Don't mind the color, I didn't want to use up all my black on test prints.
    IMG_20181211_000228.jpg IMG_20181211_000239.jpg

    And last but not least I finally got a surface finish I'm happy with.

    Paint match color ones are still a work in progress because it's too cold in my shop to paint.

    Not to be Debbie downer or anything..... but does anybody else think this thing may become a projectile if God forbid an air bag deployed. Maybe I am way over thinking things, and maybe its not heavy enough to do any damage, but could be ugly if it was.

    Any object can potentially become a projectile during a collision. There are far more dangerous items, such as CDs in overhead visors, which can cause lacerations. Even an airbag itself can cause bodily injury during a collision. All things considered, the risk of injury from a steering wheel emblem overlay as a result of airbag deployment is minuscule, in my opinion.

    I'd be very interested in an overlay version using the logo from the OP (the three stripes "Toyota" logo).
