debadging the grill?

[majimbo]

Hi does anyone know how to debadge a grill or maybe just get a black vw emblem? in the case of the first want it so that it looks pro, same as in the case of the second option, just dnt want a hole or dent if i take the first option. Is this possible? if i just spray the badge black is this the only way, is there a recommended product and or instructions for prep? Is there anyone who has the black badge to buy? Any info would be much appreciated, Thanx guys & girls.

Hey mate, here's what I did - http://rayray086.blogspot.com/2007/0...le-part-1.html

Not easy, but I guess will save you a few dollars as opposed to importing your own one.

I just painted my badge black with some flat black paint. Gave it a quick light sand to roughen up the metal paint first then gave it a few light coats of paint. Came out sweet!

Why do peeps wanna get rid of the VW logo? Or make it black? Loud n proud chrome VW emblem on mine . Up to individual taste I guess

I went from a black to a chrome for just that reason

Me too, the previous owner had done an extra dodgy black spray on it.

alternative way, using foam as a mould for fiberglass.

You're really getting into the fibreglass stuff aren't ya Louis! That looks interesting nonetheless!

[Soundofav6]

Yeah in a way..... I still have 0.06 of a kilometer of fibreglass that we bought... I could DIY and upgrade my bath tub... but thats stupid.

[rayray086]

HAHA, build a boat!

But in seriousness, I might buy a few of it off you again. During the uni break!

[Soundofav6]

awesome... please do.
