[General] ve, HOW TO PAINT A FRONT LION BADGE :)

[rusty411]

SO this is HOW I PAINTED MY BADGE!!

stuffs u needs
Primer
paint of choice (plastic)
clear coat if u want more durable

ok stage 1
taking off the grill is fairly easy two screws in the top take them out then pull the centre
off the plugs and then the bracket will follow and lever the grill out. that easy.
then unclip the badge and then reverse the steps to put the grill back in .

stage 2
give the badge a wash and dry it off, then sand it back with 1200 grit sandpaper enough to rough it up and get the shine out of it so the primer adheres better.
once sanded give it a few coats of primer now dont rush the priming paint and clear coat patience is key. few coats letting it touch dry in between coats this is what it looks like after:

stage3:
once primed let it fully dry for a few hours and then light sand back any major bumps in it very lightly tho once nice and smooth give it a few coats of black plastic paint this is after 2 coats:

this is after all of them

remember not to rush let them dry a little inbetween

step4:
once paint is dry about an hour will do give it a few coats of clear give it 24houts to harden and bang her on the grill and admire your work
