So I tried my hand at doing a custom front emblem. I ordered a factory emblem. Took the center out. Had a buddy blast the finish off of it. Then took it to a paint shop and wet sanded it and attempted to paint it. It didn’t turn out perfect but this is the first attempt. The blasting caused a little too much pitting but I think it turned out decent for first try.
I have two other emblems I’m gonna try to vapor blast it and see if that causes less pitting and a more smooth finish.
First pic is after it had been blasted and second pic is finished product. Let me know what y’all think.
