very nice, great diy, very worth it if you already have the products needed

thedumbfek · 04-28-2009, 03:57 PM

Man, that looks good

theblackmamba · 04-28-2009, 08:19 PM

Dude why would you paint this on the car?

Get the emblems through getbmwparts.com repaint and stick...

If you remove them you'll have to buy new ones - 90% of the time the adhesive gets ruined.

Aramel · 05-25-2009, 06:38 PM

Let's say you remove the badge to paint it. What's the best way to reattach it? Any recommendations on adhesives?

FoShizzle · 05-25-2009, 07:01 PM

3M double sticky tape.

Aramel · 05-25-2009, 08:33 PM

Wouldn't that be thicker than the original adhesive?

FoShizzle · 05-25-2009, 09:05 PM

Should be the same. There's a recess space on the back of the emblems for the adhesive tape. I'm sure 3M makes different thicknesses too. You'll find it at almost any auto parts store. It's the same stuff everybody uses to adhere spoilers.

Aramel · 05-25-2009, 09:26 PM

Nice. Thanks.

Great post btw. Really nice work.

Aperture · 05-29-2009, 02:51 PM

You could also just buy the black emblems from **********s that come with the double sided tape already on them.

kuvesh · 05-29-2009, 10:39 PM

very risky diy - safer to take the badges off first IMO

Slant6ix · 06-24-2009, 02:35 PM

I like this DIY. I had a question though, what can you use to make it glossy? I have two badges, and I would make one matte, and one glossy black, and see which one would fit better.

Everling · 07-18-2010, 04:52 AM

is this for reals? take them off the car and stick them back on with trim adhesive... or 15 emblems off ebay.
