Painting the Emblems
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello All,

I would like to paint the emblems on my Raven Black FR-S to look like this.
Attachment 13917

Any thoughts on how to do this without making it look like crap?

PlastiDip the logo and then paint on the latex? The Plastidip is a matte finish though but at least its all 100% reversible.

I'd find some red epoxy paint, put it into a syringe and fill the SCION part of the emblem. This stuff self-levels and is damn near indestructible. For the metal part, any old paint will do. There are epoxy-based spray paints, so you could do the smoking with that and then come behind with the syringed red epoxy paint.

+1 on plastidip

They come im red and black.

If you want that glossy look, use the glossifier on top of it

Reverse that on a Raven would look good i think.

Or as is on a Firestorm.

I did mine like this but where the red is, I put white. Used a syringe for it. It'll come out sloppy st first, just have to touch it up with brushes and small tools. Mine turned out great. I can put up pics tomorrow if you'd like

Yeah that would be awesome if you could and any other tips you have.

Well that's sexy...if someone just wants to make a few of those I'd rather just buy them off you than do it on my own.

Where do you get the syringes?

Just saw this now, I'll put up pictures tomorrow. S far as tips go, just spray whole thing black, let dry, then take syringe (or could use a toothpick or something thin, and supply the white, then take black and clean up with brush, then clear. Its kind of hard to explain. It just takes patience lol i got frustrated bc I thought they'd come out sloppy but if you take your time and clean them up, you'll get it. Ill post pics tomorrow!

Paint it black, then use a pinstripe brush to color in the text. Then clear it.
