Idea for my body kit
Well, I'm running a theme in my head for what I want on the tib. Problem is the front emblem I have planned for it. I want to sink the emblem into the fiberglass a little and seal it in so no-one can pick at the edges and potentially rip it off or damage it. However, they nose peice still would need to get painted. I'd like to put a resin over it but don't want to f* up the paint job that will be getting done either. It came with some double sided tape but I don't trust that crap.
So any ideas as to how to get it painted, install the emblem and seal it so no-one can remove it, but also, so the sealant method doesn't ruin the overall look?

Once it is painted, use epoxy, but use a minimal amount so it doesnt squeeze out of the sides... That 1ton takes a bit to dry, but you wont take it off, with out some brute force....

you can always resin the emblem in place and then use a paint on paint protector. It is this awesome stuff at Lowe's that you paint on to protect edges and when you are done just peel it off like tape. For something like an emblem would work really well. I used it on my windows in my home when painting a couple years back I thing it would work for what you are doing really well. Should just go to Lowes and ask the paint guy if they still carry it.

Well Maj, it's not a crooked H emblem.
Dayton, that sounds like a great idea too, I'm gonna have to check into that.
