Welcome to the 21st Century!

Sandblasted?? What do you think you'll have left after someone sandblasts "Plastic" emblems? Painting them green/black...why? I spent a year at OSU, wasn't aware Infiniti had reached Oklahoma!

You don't need to sand down things as simple as emblems. Just wipe them down to get dust and dirt particles off, and lay the paint on. Plastidip is the easiest method, there are millions of videos showing you how to use it. Not that you'd need to watch videos to paint emblems, it's pretty simple. Just spray a few coats on the emblems, peel off the paint on the surrounding areas, and you're done.

I Wanted The Bare Plastic So I Could Go Back Over It With Sand paper, that way the paint would stick better. It's in the process of drying. & I chose green and back because I've never seen anyone (atleast in Okc) with that. Plus I've started to notice A LOT of people are starting to copy my car, (down to the paint, Vinyl wrap, everything) I just don't want a bunch of cars that look like mine. Sounds dumb but, I'm weird so to say.
