samuaw Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Well Just to show something I today.. A very very very small job. Thought i'd paint my Toyota Badge.... The GT comes with a Red Toyota badge and a Red GT badg with chrome surrounds, And this just Doens't fly with the colour scheme i'm going for... And the fact the red was already coming off from jet washing and the Clay Bar. So.. I chipped off the original Red with a coin,,, and started painting.. Orginially, I thought i'd paint where the red used to be... But realised i couldn't get a good finish with the brush. So i took it all off and had a new approach... Painting the little "ditch" between the 2 chrome bits... And here are the results.. Will go nicely with my Gold infills, and Mook has my GT badge making an infill to fit into that, And of course Gold Club Stickers.... Just awaiting on those to stick onto the car All in the name of achieving Gold Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuaw Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Me likey Have you done your calipers gold? My Callipers have been Gold since day 1... well more like 2 weeks after i got it.... I would shoot it with lacquer... But.. It'll dull down the chrome ... I doubt the gold will magically rub off, As The way i did it was.... Paint the edges to the best i can... Let it dry, and got 0 grade wire wool to rub off the excess. .. Didn;t even rub off what i was after as the ridge is deep. And hey presto, only the ridge was painted..... The only way to remove it is with a needle and scratch it off...

samuaw Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Did u receive those gold bolts I sent you Goldmember? Yup.. on the car already.. Though.. only a few bolts fit... maybe half of them, I.e.. the one holding on the VVTLI cover... those weren't long enough, And for the Spark plugs too.. So, I had to changed the ones holding the lights down.. and some other ones... Maybe i should get some Gold watches, bracelets, necklaces.. and teeth to match... No no.. i'll just get a Gold credit card, Whenever they allow me to have that much credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuaw Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Update.... Mook has returned my Blinging bits.. He also has amazingly neat hand writting, Never have i seen such neat hand writting on a letter to myself But onwards to pictures as we all love them These are probably the worse pictures which has come from my Phone.. as i was rushing to stick the double sided foam, then to my car before work started.. Gold GT badge infill- Finger prints ALL over the bling.. I have oily skin?? Or just the price to pay when you have bling.. Lots of cleaning to get them to shine... Chrome Gold club stickers And Re badged... (bad angle) I know how people love the debadged look, But i want to be proud of my GT, Thus i put them all back on. They look Amazing and had to get them back onto my car as soon as they came though the post.. Thanks Mook, Your work is Quality!
