[QUOTE="countryboy843, post: 43824, member: 1840"] well i started by snding the face of the letters till they were smooth and level and peeling all the loose paint off the base ( a jewlers flathead screwdriver works great here ) and sanding all areas you are able to to clean and scuff for paint to hold to . next i applied a heavy even coat of primer to help thing look smooth , after this dried i watersanded the face of the letters with 1000 grit and applied the base color ( i used the metallic blue to match the bike ) . let this dry good and i put in a pastic pan and filled with water till just the top of the letters were on the surface ( may need to shim with something to level emblem ) and made sure top surface of letters were dry ( ohh also carefully fill the o ,d , and a with water ) then i sprayed with crome silver a heavy layer holding can at a distance so the paint more fell on then blew on to prevent face from going underwater at any point . let this dry completly and then scrap surface of water to get paint from around the part before pulling out of the water , and little peices should clean up with little problem . finally i sprayed with a good clear coat to seal the embelm . this is the finished product [/QUOTE]
