black front badge

[SteveS]

I want to colour my front vw black so it dosnt stand out so much!

what colour black paint should i use do you think? i dont think i want it shiney, but a matt might not look right.. :S

why dont you get one of them carbon fiber jobbies like RedRobin, look quite cool  i think that if you get the front done then the back would look odd, so would have to get both done 

[SteveS]

yeah i would, but dont know where from, and they are gonna be costly.
i think someone said they make them themselves? in which case bit of a mission

[joesgti]

ask red robin, i dont think theyl be too much, about £50 if i remember collectly

the black matt colour used here is too gray like!

[08micsta]

Well then get the same product with a darker colour if it suits you?

indeed, just dont know how he could be happy with that :-|

considering the same Steve...

1. Cover with Carbon Fibre film (or even the other films you can get). Could be tricky , but I reckon possible.
2. Spray it , I like Matt Satin Finish Black (sorry cant see the linked pics @ work) , but satin is a kinda halfway house between shiny and matt (more Matt tbh). Smoothrite Satin black  works well in a  can  (in fact Ive done many a brake caliper in this stuff and it works great even at high temps if prep is good)
3. Get a full CF one

some form of mod to get some subtle LEDs in there could be done too !!

in fact something a little 'custom' which is ed30 specific may be in order .......
