Lightbulb DIY: Black out emblems without taking them off
Hey guys,

Came across this on another forum, and I plan on pick up a can of this soon at Home Hardware. They come in various colours, and you can paint anything with it. Ive seen people do roofs, rims, emblems, trimming etc.. And the best part of it is, if you dont like it you can peel it off! Heres the link...hope this thread was helpful

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-s...-required.html

Good protection for rims also if you track and I hear they withstand alot depending on how many coats you do.

That stuff is crazy. Went out and got 2 cans today, gunna try out that emblem black-out. Probably would work as good protection on rims when storing them too.

hrmmm... I wonder if you could use this stuff in the rear fenders... maybe protect against rust by sealing it out.

I did a test spray on some cardboard and a penny today to see how it sticks. I was able to peal it off both the cardboard and penny without any residue being left behind and it didn't tear the cardboard at all. Its also quite stretchy.

Just follow what that Lexus guy did and you shouldn't have any problems. I'll post pics when I get around to doing mine.
