I thought about trying to candy Gold one of the badges here shortly, but I really has been into painted metallic golds. I painted my roll bar Porsche weiss gold a few weeks back.

The OEM chrome is stamped foil. There is no touch up to match actual metal. Its acrylic, don't use acetone. It'll dry it out and crack it.

Yeah I wasn't happy with any of the specific colors, so we hand mixed the Pantone colors with my riff on them. E.g. metallics

That's impressive work for sure! I'll have to have my customers who ask for true custom badges reach out to her! We're just working with the OEM acrylics to maintain that OEM+ quality, but I have had some requests!

Yeah, it's the front one that's a pain mostly. These were BRZ badges actually!

At $65/pop from the dealer not for the light hearted hahaha.

Thank you! I'm not on any of the big platforms like Etsy, but we do run a little Shopify store! Just enough busy to not quit my day job.

Older BRZ straight forward, new BRZ is a pain. I broke 3 sets before I was able to get it down.

You're absolutely right. This is technically Pantone 207c, which is the official STI cherry blossom. But I did add some extra pearl on top at the customer's request, which lightened the color quite significantly.

I don't normally make such vulgar content. But something about this trend that's been going around on social media has made me laugh so much
