Yesterday i decided to debadge my car then an idea popped in my head. Ive seen it done before on here so i thought id give it a try. I went for the gloss black look. I think it looks really good on a nbp. And also if anyone wants to do this i advice you to let it dry overnight, dont listen to the direction on the bottle of 1 hour. Yea it feels dry but when i put them on last night they lost their shine and all i saw were my finger prints.So i had to re-coat them. Ok here are the pics

In the painting process:




The finished product:
There much darker then they appear here..idk why they look silver:





I kinda wish i made the S on the s type logo black..maybe ill do that next weekend.

dlphnsjk

iknow dude the more i look at it the more i wish i did it, its just gunna be hard to tape it up so i dont get paint on the red part, ill black out evrything thats chrome or should i leave the "type" chrome and just the S black? if someone did it can you please post pics?

It looks pretty cool & unique. I would do the same to the A in your
front grill just to keep it all in sync. Cool idea bro

dlphnsjk

im gunna do that when i get the time, i was thinking of blacking out the whole grill

sacario175

how did you take off teh emblems and where did you buy the paint lloks nice

dudechewy

looks great....im gona do this soon....im thinkin of doing it flat/matte black tho idk how itll look tho....

dlphnsjk

used hot water, fishing line and then goo gone to get the gluey crap off the car, then i bought adhesive promotor and glossblack dupicolor paint from pepboys.

dlphnsjk

i was gunna do that but it doesnt have any shine to it or the glossy finish, in person mine look straight up black, the reflection in the pic doesnt make it look dark

I like it...good job!! I wasn't sure how the black paint was gonna look on the NBP car, but I think it looks pretty badass.

Good job. It has a nice shine and luster to it. I would've left the TL off and relocate the type-s on the lower right of the trunk.

tinad2004

i like that little mod, looks good, was it hard to take them emblems off?

BackinBlackTL

looks good...i had a guy at a local body shop paint my grill, all emblems and the silver strip above the lisence plate black...plus i have a black lisence plate, looks beautiful

the "A" has been done before in fact I had it ... but the "TL" dude.. now thats friggin clever... good job....

I think if you sat there you could mask out the red section of the S logo...

also for some of you that are planning a diy... do take out the time to scuff the emblems first since it will make it far more easier and longer lasting for the paint

I like that. I wanna do that with black chrome looking paint on my SSM as well as the little strip above the license plate

dlphnsjk

Yeah i did that and used rubbing alcohol , then when i put them back on the car i used rubbing alcohol on the spot to make sure there was no grease or dirt.

dlphnsjk

I wanted to do that strip as well, is there a way to take it off because i'd rather not do it while its on the car

georgegiorgio

Nice, how about the front?

Looks Sick!

I love it!

mmade22

I talked to a member from here that did it and he said you have to go through the trunk. Take the lining off and take the whole license place CF looking thing off then you can unclip that piece off and paint it. I took the lining off before so that's not a problem, and he said that taking the other thing off is easy, only 4 screws. I will be doing this maybe this weekend if its nice out.

What did you use to put those letters back on? Some kind of silicone or something?

bhavin3623

yea its not that hard..just have to set aside some time for it because u have to take the lining out and ish..
im planing on blacking out the emblums too but i was trying to figure out how to paint the "type"..unless i tape it off from the outside which would be a bitch

syunit

that looks slick, you should consider smoking out your taillights or something. either that or look into tints if you don't already have them, i can't tell in the photo

syunit

just saw your sig that you already have tints, nice! so just the taillights then!

dlphnsjk

myron- i used 3m strong double sided tape, its rained and ive pressure washed my car at those do it your self places and they stay on..its good stuff.

syunit- I had smoked tails until this summer..here look

It would of looked sick BUT....i went to a party and woke up the next morning to find both my tails ripped into shreds....=[ idk how it happened probably some drunk bastard or just a hater cause he probably has a toyota or something and the tl-s is awsome lol..but i haven't had the time to get them done yet. Plus the guy i know that did it for 45 moved away. So ill stick with this for now.

gotta paint that chrome bar bellow the 'A' too!

dlphnsjk

alright i started the type s badge..but i just realized the "TYPE" part is in side the clear plastic covering the red..so im gunna do the S and the chrome surrounding the badge..ill post pics up later..the taping is gunna be a bitch lol

syunit

but sorry to hear about that... people don't have respect for others' property...

thanks for the pic, the full shot of the car is sweet! good luck with taping the type-s lol you're right it seems like a biatch for sure

J-STEELE

Paint the type s the same color. Either way, still looks good.

PEACE!

Kro

that looks really good! and i think the type S badge would look cool too.
