Ok guys, I know A LOT of you are gonna hate on this. but i really dont care, because i like the way it turned out. i like it a lot in fact. anyways, painted my door spears (they were color matched, but i wanted em black dammit) and i took the hemi badges off the front fender. didnt use an eraser wheel. used braided fishing line (mono is for newbs) a plastic windshield scraper (for scraping off frost) some goo gone, and a towel. it was really easy, no need for an eraser wheel for me. anyways, on to pics....

awesome, plasti-dip strikes again! Gave me a great idea since my spears are starting to fade pretty bad. I had contemplated removing them but I might as well just keep em and repaint them like you did. I may need to buy more plasti dip LOL.
