[KYREDP5]

Well I painted my emblems today. Whaddyall think?

I used Duplicolor Graphite, and topped it off with clearcoat.

looks good, im debating whether or not to do my back ones.

 

[deckedoutmp5]

i dig em.

 

[IcedMp5]

that looks good...i've been wanting to do mine as well. did you do any sanding first?

 

[KYREDP5]

Yeah, just a little bit of sanding. Just enough to cloud up the surface.

 

[deckedoutmp5]

how did you remove them?

 

[KYREDP5]

Dental floss and a butter knife. Ghetto fo sheezy!

[trakker15]

i had a huge dent in my back and got the emblems taken off when they fixed that problem. The back looks great with only the flying M in the middle.

I see KYREDP5. You saw that on my car and just had to steal it didn't you?

 

[Groza187]

Was the tapeing up the 5 in Protege5 a b****?

 

[KYREDP5]

Yeah Pro5man, I warned you that I was going to steal your idea.

Groza~ No I just taped newspaper over the 5. It was alot eaiser than I figured it would be.

anyway, what brand did you use for clear coat?

 

[deckedoutmp5]

yup you will have to modify the inside plastic piece and trim a tad out of your hole and they are a direct fit pretty much.

peace- trav

 

[KYREDP5]

Yeah those are the clear corners. I'll get some closer pics put up ASAP. For the clearcoat I used the Duplicolor clearcoat.
