Has anyone painted their stock emblems themselves?

 

Never on the z, but tried mazda ones. It didnt go so well, I think they should have been cleaned with thinner first maybe. The paint just wouldnt stick. I have seen painted emblems before though. Any body guys in the house??

 

sand the **** out of it, use some chemical stripper.. sand again, strip again. multiple coats of primer, multiple coats of paint/clear

i bought one of these, most likely the same construction as the oem emblems, I am going to be painting it black. I will let you know how it goes. should be doing it within 2 weeks.

 

keep us posted!

 

I intend to snap photos of the process and take it really slow, with plenty of time in between steps for curing and drying.

if I forget to update this thread it will be as a new post still inside this sub forum.

 

thanks
