DIY Gold 86 piston emblems
I know there's already a thread for the red but I thought I'd show off my gold version to match my rims. Looks pretty clean. Just hobby lobby gold paint, smallest paintbrush you can find and a steady hand.

Was acrylic paint $3.
I'm in Texas so basically only gotta worry about heat. But tbh it was easier than I thought. I have a decently steady enough hand but everything you paint is in a groove so you just wipe away any mistakes. Took about a hour to do 2 coats on each side. Looks like it'll hold up pretty well but If not is have no problem doing a touch up on it (hopefully last at least 6-12 months)
