Hey guys....just thought i would share with you a small project that began today....i received the tribar pony emblems (left and right) from partscheap.com today and went down to autozone to grab some wool to take away the finish,primer, black krylon paint, and clear coat.2 coats of primer, 6 coats of black, and 3 coats of clear coat later......... and forgive the photos....i had to use my cell phone to take them....

Did you paint em on your toliet.


Lol thats awesome , i love seeing custom stuff like that . You added a great touch to your car and adds to the look your going for . I love the all black looks very sinister and thats a nice little black accent.

 

from the pics they don't look quite shiny enough

otherwise, awesome

 

Thanks WhiteStallion...haha yeah i didnt paint them on the toilet.....though that could have made it interesting .....probably would have turned out "****ty" though.....yeah i wanted to add a 'unique' touch.......i will add more pics tomorrow after i put them on.....im thinking about doing the running horse on the grill too.....but i may come up with something diff for that as well...

 

They really arent that shiny....its just the way the light (right above) was shining on them.....plus i just added the clear coat like 15 mins ago....so they arent fully dry yet

 

I love custom work. When I had my stripes painted, I had my mirrors, trim and gt emblems painted blackk to match. -Andrew

this makes me want to wash my car lol. Beautiful ride man

by the way adidas, thats an awesome idea, bet it looks real slick

 

If it were me, I would have painted just the pony and left the tribar chromed and colored, or paint the red, white and blue back in the tribar after the black. JMO! The total plain black just looks unfinished.

 

Cool idea, Adidas. Beestang, are your headlight buckets open or just painted, I can't tell from your picture. If open, how did you do it and make the headlight seal. Thanks.

could be wrong but not shiny was what he was going for.
