Did you primer it?

phsalex 06-10-2011 10:14 PM

no i just spray painted it black, i think maybe its cause the emblem is like chrome?

you should of probably primer and or sanded it so the paint sticks properly just my 2 cents i am not a painter

Flat black or black? Sand it back down a little, get some dark primer and spray it with black again. That should do it :yesnod:

you need to sand or scuff the surface with 400-600 grit , primer & Paint, semi-gloss or flat

Like what other people said...sand it down, primer and paint. After that, you should be good to go. Good luck.
