And the final result?



Sorry... The flash did it no justice. I typically have to find some sunshine to jet good colors. If it's sunny tomorrow I'll get a couple of beauty shots for the biz site and post those here.

Cheers!

Just as a curiosity, put a solid 7 of a different color in the shield. That might make a cool contrast. Also what if it was raised or lowered to make a shadow line. Russ

While looking a my parts, I was thinking the same thing Russ. Maybe painting it the primary body color would tie it all together. I was also thinking of a slightly smaller insert with about 1/4" clearance to the "std" emblem.

I did notice that the "scrap" seven that I received had the brushed finish perpendicular to the rest of the emblem which also makes an attractive detail.

You asked for it....



So who's rethinking their color scheme right now?

KS

FYI - they all have studs except the emblem on the right, so they are all in relief except for that set.

Well, The colors I had planned for my car was green stripes and fenders on a black body. That dark grey is a pretty good contrast to the emblem!

Yeah... I didn't paint mine while I was doing them this weekend, but after seeing these, I'm thinking of doing mine in the NRA Blue for the Emblem and Satin Aluminum on the Drop. All on a expanded stainless mesh! Should look fantastic!

I hadn't thought of contrasting colors, but after Russ suggested it, I really like it!! I have found that I can do the work, but I must differ to others for help with the creative side!

You want me to re-do your "7" before I ship it out Mike?

That Sniper Grey looks really good in contrast and would be a great "shadow" color for the inlet. Black would get lost, but that grey reflects a bit of light!

Your call!

Well Lads and Lasses, I have to admit that other than Cerakoting up a few emblems, I really didn't do any of the shipping that I had planned! I got into working on the car (trying my hand at forming alum on the scuttle) and lost the time!! So there is no pipeline information this morning! Sorry!

I'm sitting at the desk while the HVAC guys evac the prototype heat pump in the lab, so I am sure I will be able to get a couple of these out the door today if I can locate some packing tape. It is truly amazing how much tape you go through wrapping up these little goodies!!

So now I will stop typing and get to packing!

Cheers!

Nah, that's OK! Thanks anyway. I may just put that "7" on my "Roll-a-way". Should look good against the stainless steel exterior. For my Locost, I'm planning on blacking out the grill and everything behind it, so that 'Zombie Green' insert should really "POP"!
