SGT/SC#0471 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 So I ordered a new Horse emblem from SA and noticed that on the grill emblem it is epoxied on...also the original emblem says Scott Drake on the back and the new one says Shelby..... So as I like to make things cooler...I applied touch up paint of ford colors to the tri-bar and presto way better looking emblem no messing with epoxy and all that jazz... And yes those are bugs....DRIVEN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 The original paint is more of a glaze lets just say....Love it Jer!!!! Thanks! That's why I had "Guitar Center Las Vegas" logos made up by John Farmer to fly on my car during the Vegas Bash 2011. To THANK my company for letting me follow my passion and move here. They are one COOL COMPANY. (You can see 'em over my "Powered By Ford" badges in my signature photo)... Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's no surprise to you that mine is looking pretty bad and in need of a repaint. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT/SC#0471 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I used Ford Motorcraft Performance White, Duplicolor Ford Cardnial Red and Duplicolor Ford Sonic Blue. I used PPG Acryli-Clean to prep. I'll snap a pocture with P/N's soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT/SC#0471 Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Here ya go...I had the grill off the car, simple to get off...and had it face up on a moving blanked folded up on the bench...this allowed me to "fill in" the recesses with the appropriate colors...Cheers! Acryli-clean to clean and prep surfaces...Laq thinner to clean brush, a touch up brush... edit: I folded up the blanket and positioned the grill so that the emblem was flat as then gravity was my friend.
