Nose emblem

Anyone have a custom nose emblem they painted themselves? Mine has been sitting in my garage for a while now and it's about time I put it back in it's place with a new look, but I don't want to spend the money on a carbon fiber one or something. If it helps at all, my car is silver so I kinda want it to match up nicely. Thanks

Re: Nose emblem

That's kind of what I'm looking for. I have paint that matches my car and then some glossy black that I'm looking to use to put a design on it. I wanna do the bowtie for sure.

I have that one too. Nice piece. Subtle, and works well with pewter.

I don't think that nose emblem he posted is painted. I think it is cut-out and you can see the paint underneath it. I used to paint custom action figures for a hobby a few years ago, and I don't recommend trying to paint something as smooth as the nose emblem. It'll just end up looking crappy to be honest.
