My emblem always chips

BoominTaco · Apr 13, 2008

I painted my emblem a while back. I use krylon fusion paint for plastics but for some reason i always chips due to rock from the cars in front of me.. Anybody know what is the best way to paint it, so it doesn't chip as much or at all.:biggrin:

I used krylon fusion and didnt even sand it. 8 months later and not one chip

I use two-part epoxy primer, PPG DP90. 18k miles later, not one chip.

same here, when it gets a chip I just sand it down and put 2 or 3 new coats on. this will usually last a few months atleast

you can put a clear lacquer on it after painting for better protection:top:

I'm with the crew... mine chips too. I just pop it out and spray a couple new light coats on once a year and call it day.

Can't believe I never thought of that. I just walk pass my it and go, crap a new chip, o wells. Too lazy to repaint, but marker seems like an idea.

Too lazy. . . .I have a sharpie in my schoolbag, I'll do it later tonight. See if i wanted to clearcoat and do it right. I would have to buy some primer, some sandpaper, some clear and some black paint. thats like 20+ dollars and time.
