Windy Road Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 When sanding, same direction? I rotated sanding the whole thing with each grit. I kept spinning it while sanding. 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Here's a pic of my newly re-modified badge, painted flat black to match the headlights, fog covers, and grill. Dark - If you want silver carbon fiber I would recommend using what I did for the second pic, I got some C/F vinyl at autozone, the part that's sticky is silver instead of black so I just sanded the OEM badge and stuck the vinyl to it, looked pretty good imo (sorry for the sh*tty cell quality on both) http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt344/docholladay23/4535b3da.jpg I wonder if they have black. That looks pretty good.

DocHolladay23 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 yeah that is the black, the back (adhesive side) is just silver [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Bummer. I want some that is adhesive in black. That would look slick. The silver, on my white car, would look lame.

Dutch Eagle Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I had this DIY done on my former car (Impreza). The result using sandpaper to get rid of the original paint on the back of the badge does not give the smooth result one would like. I used nailpolish-remover without 'aceton' in it. This very easely disolves/removes the paint, but does not in any way hurt the plastic of the badge. This gives a much smoother end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhdrockstar Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Brake parts cleaner is what I ended up using instead of sand paper. That way it will leave a nice smooth finish after removing the paint. Just spray it on a rag and don't go into the chrome areas. -Urban Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as6530 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Instead of sanding you can also use something like carburetor cleaner on a rag and it rubs off the paint on the backing, this is how I did it on my 03 Legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
