Painted some of my emblems
Last week I got a little ambition and decided to make my emblems look nice again. What do you think? I've got a line on a cheap set of High Sierra 1500 emblems that need some attention, so if I get them, those might be for sale.

So you hand painted these with 50 cent craft paint?! I love it! Any kind of clear to protect it? Nice work!

The red is actually Case IH Tractor Paint, and the black is Just some Rustoleum. I cleared the smallest diesel emblem, but I'm afraid to do the rest because I've had too many bad instances with clear before

Very cool. Thought it only comes in spray cans, maybe I'm wrong lol. And I agree I have AWFUL luck with clear

The 3x3 emblems turned out great. I was going to do the red & black too, but I choose just the black bow tie.
