SC cover emblem paint

Nice. So you just did it with a paintbrush by hand?

yes -- an unsteady hand at that. You can see the brush in one of the pics.

Paint is over a month old with many drives... no issues whatsoever.

How many bottles did you need for this? I bought one but didn’t realize how small it was (should have read details haha). Where did you buy your clear?

this isn't anything special, I just used clear I had from a touch up paint kit -- comes in a tiny bottle. You don't need much paint or clear for this!

Just did this a few days ago and came out great. You’re right, little bottle was more than enough. I’ve got a shadow grey with yellow calipers and this definitely balances out the back nicely!

I added the last bit of yellow -- to the front splitter, I like it!!

WIth a very unsteady hand, I spent some time this morning painting the polished emblem on the SC cover to match some of the other yellow accents I've added. I think this will be the last bit of yellow -- I think it adds balance to the back since there's no yellow nearby.

This is the way. Love how it looks through the back glass. I would like to do mine but may do the V6 in yellow too.
Did you do paint or tape for the side stripes?

The yellow is nothing more than 1/2" vinyl tape --- it looks great, cost $6 for a roll, and has stayed put through months of use and washing without any issue. I recently added the front lip -- I think it's all set now!
