Ask the body shop if they can include paint sealers coz it will help a bit w/ rack chips

Damn I never even thought of painting my emblem red... that'd be kinda hot haha. I am planning on painting my rims gloss black sometime soon, and I thought about having the paint shop do my center caps in red when they painted my front lip but, I forgot haha.

Should basically be the same as the regular DIY... the paint is just a little different, technique should be the same I believe.

^yupper, I did gloss black.. It's the EXACT same procedure, just use gloss black (Universal Black- if you're using duplicolor).. Everything else is the same.. I really advise getting Duplicolor paint (found at Autozone).. Save yourself the time of doing it over again (like I did).. Goes on evenly, and the nozzle makes a HUGE difference.. Take your time and use multiple coats. Duplicolor also aids in not cracking under heat and cold..
