Black front Emblem

Ok - so now we’ve done the grill emblem. We need to figure out a plan for those chrome and tacky wheel logo centers!

Easy application?
Extremely easy. I did all four wheels in 4 hours. Most of it is drying time. If you are just doing the emblem I would estimate 1 hour. First the wheel has to be clean and completely dry. I used kitchen garbage bags to cover inside brake and caliper. Mask off anything on wheel you don’t want painted. I did full wheel so I didn’t mask off anything. You start with a super light tack coat and wait 10 minutes between each coat. Less is better. There are many YouTube videos on how to perform. Practice on a big cardboard box before so you know how to use the spray without causing it to be wet/running. Indoors with no wind is best. I’d recommend doing entire rim/lugs/logo for consistency of color. I love it.

I’m going to stick to just the center caps; looks like they have an anthracite gray whick would be a ghost match for the overtrail gray wheels
