Defyant Grill Emblem: Ordered

[DEFYANT]

Mine is chipped also

[Bigdogjim]

Mine is chipped, but I wonder if any paint is going to hold up to rocks, etc. on the highway hitting it at 75MPH. Gonna have to find some good touch-up paint that's durable.

If your going to drive 'em on the highway then your going to get chips etc....

Of course there is always a trailer

especialy if you are a cam member...chips from rocks and lil bitty toyotas are a given.

Does anyone know if Daniel completed the rear badge?

Does anyone know if Daniel completed the rear badge?

I talked to him last week. He said he still does not have the curvature for the deck lid worked out the way he wants it. Gotta say he is a perfectionist!

anyone had any trouble with the black paint chipping off around the Godshead, most noticably by the top of it's hat? If so what kind
of touch up paint are you using to cover up the chrome showing?

I have repainted mine. Removed the badge from the grill. Repainted it with a good quality black spray paint. Used a rag dampened with acitone to wipe off the paint from the high areas, leaving the recessed area looking new.

thanks to all for the info, looks like it's a common predicament!

This is what I was going to do, except I thought of adding a few coats of clearcoat afterwards. Couldn't hurt.

Are you thinking of clearcoat on the whole thing or just the black part? Wonder if it would help prevent rock marks in the clear part?

[duhtroll]

I meant the whole thing but I'd have to ask around about what to use. (i.e. what's best)

So does Daniel yet Still have the REar ready to be sold?
I'm Ready!
I like their emblems.

Once I bought a very large Indian Head Nickel from one of those television adds. This would make a nice buckle. I saw another marauder emblem once. Looked WAY too big. No Marauder name or Mercury name. Just MHO = I didnt like it!

No flash=no light and it's cloudy here the past few days. It was either flash or a dark area. I didn't feel like setting up worklights, etc. just for the pic.

No need for work lights.

Digital cmos and film is more sensitive than you know.

Setting your camera's white balance to cloudy, and bumping the ISO up to 400+ up to 1600 in conjunction with a monopod or tripod, will allow you to shoot well into dusk without flash.

If I'm gonna go get a tripod, I might as well get a light!

Actually, I did buy a digicam that allows me to change the settings like this because I have done photography work in the past.

I just don't use it when my hands are dirty.

If I was submitting it for publication -- sure. However . . .
