2008 Mazdaspeed 3
Okay, so i decided i wanted to paint my emblems in the "M" look in blue. I wanted to be different from all those that are doing the black with red. So we took off the emblems and sanded them blah blah... We finished the "mazdaspeed 3" and stuck it on. I wasnt sure if i liked the color because it was not the blue i as looking for. but my friend convinced me to wait till the next day for the M emblems to dry and we could stick it on. The next day we went to finish the front and rear's. we finished with the last coat and started to apply the clear coat. i went to pick it up the rear badge and super rooked it. i dropped it and it cracked. so now i have to wait to buy another one. Please tell me what u guys think of the "mazdaspeed 3" color. Personally i think its too light and dont really like it..
Thanks for the opinions.

And yes i know the "M" doesnt look that well painted, i was mad that it broke so i threw it against the wall and the paint just got more messed up, it looked really good before it broke haha.

Different.

I like it.
Most wont like it because they only like whats tried and true..they are afraid to try something different.

A lot of popular stuff is turned down by many at first....Just remember that.
 
3 is a little crooked and I am not a fan of the blue. Darker and a glossier blue would look nicer.
 
i really dont think its too bad, im curious as to what it would look like in the sun. it does need to be a bit darker though..
 
nope. looks cheesy to me.

and your 3 is way off center.

as much as i think blacked out badges are overdone (which is why i havent touched mine) my opinion is you should just leave it alone.
 
i think i am going to go rim color with mine. i am not a big fan of chrome but ithink it would be a nice and subtle touch this way.
 
Ya I dont think it looks that bad. The more clear you put on it the darker it will get, so maybe try that before you repaint.
 
that sucks! thats one reason I dont want to do the M since I am affraid it will break. The opther reason is because Ive seen closeup pics of how the bottom looks like crap when dremmeled out since the bottom portion is raised and hollow inside.

Props for another Speed3 thats local to me, I live in Canoga Park/Northridge area
