emblems



Nah, mine's like a 7-10 footer but I still see the how rough the emblem 
paint looks at that.  New emblems will make some of the other flaws less 
noticable.  I used some black again the other day on the piece behind the 
license plate.  WOW!  What a great product.  That part looks like new now 
and has been through a carwash and a couple rainstorms since I did it.
