Well I got them painted, I was a little scared when I did it but looking at them now, im satisfied, oh and most people use that dupli color but I used krylon just because someone referred it to me. My next decision is should I put them back on with this double sided tape i have? or use some mounting tape hmmmm

anyways what do you guys think?

I would use some other kind of mounting tape or adhesive... I used some 3m on my car last year and when December came around, it basically froze off...

I actually messed the emblems up when I was checking if they were done, I got finger prints all over and had to re-do them, they look even better than before though
