'LOTUS' and 'ELAN' emblems on the rear

Postby hhisiii » Mon 16.06.2014, 20:33

I hated the brushed nickel style of these emblems from the start. In my opinion, it really dated an otherwise sleek car. .... so, while touching up the wheels and wings on my Series Landy, I decided to plastidip the emblems. Image

Pretty easy process:
Mask off a square around the emblem
Spray
Then peel off from the paint when the dip dries
1991 Lotus Elan Calypso Red
2004 Land Rover Discovery II (for work and daily back and forth)
1981 Land Rover Series III 88" (for play time in the mud!)
