I'm just not a big chrome fan... Seems much more popular in the US than here in Asia...?

I painted the chrome one black myself and looks nice. Sanded it and used primer, paint and clear coat. But the adhesive backing got messed up and lost it’s stickiness so added glue. I mounted it but the glue is messy so will take it off. Bought another chrome one and will just use that. I’m done. Black does look cool.

Nice choice, that’s what is called Ceramic Silver, did you get the Red Leather Interior?

Still a nice choice, my wife loves that colour, enjoy it they are a great car.

Hey Import Mike, thanks for your response. No disprespect intended.

Any chance you guys can do a custom black chrome? Like to match the mirrors?

Ok, I don’t have ceramic silver but mine is Silky Silver so this would give you an idea with silver script.

Looks good to me. Thanks for the picture.

I am guessing shipping to Hong Kong should also not be a problem? Want to order the glossy black script in time for when I pick my new car up and have it ceramic coated.

Hey Mark , are there many Stingers in HK ??

Just drove back from airport this morning... Passed the supercar club doing their monthly meet up... Probably 50-60 aventadors.. McLaren.. Sls.. Ferraris all ripping up the highways. Def badge snobbery here. Lolol

I agree with everything you wrote - but what I quoted... Now you know more about this stuff than I do - I'm new to the whole KDM emblem thing. But the hydro-printed pieces in my store are sprayed with a high quality UV resistant automotive clear coat. They haven't been touched by the hand of God or anything - but they do look really good - and I haven't had anyone complain yet...

I meant its not a showroom shiny paint finish. The custom letterings we do match the factory finish exactly.

 

[ImportSharkMike]

Thanks for the info. Do you all stand behind the lifespan of your finish in any way? Is there any warranty against wear? It would be a bummer to pay $85 (which I agree is reasonable as long as it lasts) for your painted emblem only to have the paint/clearcoat start to flake away within a year.

We've done thousands of custom painted items and haven't had an issue like that at all. The only time that someone might have a problem is if they get matte black without a clearcoat and use a power washer or go through an automated car wash. In that case it's understandable if the paint gets scratched or chipped. That aside, any glossy, OEM bodycolor or matte with matte clear is the same as the paint on the rest of your car.

I got your message. World-wide shipping is no problem at all.

Hey Mike, can you guys do a black chrome for the stinger script? It would match perfectly to the mirrors. Are you guys able to do this?

 

[Chris W]

I don’t mind chrome. But give me badges that are of the same style/texture/color.

None of them are consistent.

They look like they came from pep boys sale rack.

Gloss black makes them all equal and blacking out still looks bad arse in my opinion.

@nhcowboy28 How is the emblem paint holding up? Have you gone through a car wash? Power washer? Any problems at all?

I assume you're in New Hampshire, has the salt affected the finish?

Inquiring minds need to know!!

This was the ideal option for my Ceramic Silver GT2! I'm very satisfied with the results. A ceramic coating was done over the entire car to include this badging as well. All other badging was removed from the rear for a nice clean presentation.
