You have to paint the whole emblem and then apply the inlays. I went w/ chrome, but will be changing to DSG as soon as I lose the chrome bumpers.

Off topic but I must say, your taillamps look perfect man, incredible actually. Did you have a shop clear coat them for you?

Thanks alot man! I cleared them w/ duplicolor paint shop clear w/ a detailing paint gun. LOTS of wet sanding. It was my first time using a paint gun, and I cant leave it alone now! All I want to do is Paint paint paint

My buddy said he had a paint gun and when I smoked mine I could have him clear them. On my old truck I ended up going to the local auto paint shop, got charged $60 for the tails and brake light to be cleared... Ouch!

Hey Darren.....

Ouch ???

Around these parts, an autobody and paint shop won't even hardly say hello to you, for less than $150 ! I bet most places around here would charge $200 to $250 for that job.

Oh but hey Jlstang, those do look freaking awesome !

Peace,
Fish

Wow... for only like 1/4 a gallon of clear coat? Seems a bit steep!
