Hey everyone, looking for some opinions on my emblems on my car. Which one should I keep?

Here is the one I just finished...

How did you paint those inlays?

 

I realize with enamel paint :) but did you use a brush, thinner...what Type of paint?

 

Lots of concentration, paitence and time with some model brushes I bought from a hobby store and toothpicks. Some of which I filed down to fit in the smallest slats. I used Model Maker Acrylic Paint.

Thank you! I've heard of people thinning enamel to a milk-like consistency and using an eye dropper to titrate into the recesses. Your way seems a lot more realistic :)

Nice wheels and stance.

Thanks!

I like it. It's tiny, subtle, but still different from everyone else's snake... heheh That made me laugh a little.

Lol, nice jingle.

I like the extra step you took to put color in it..

 

Its the little things that make cars stand out..

Thanks, that's kind of the idea I was going for. Most cobra's either have the "stock" emblems, or completely blacked out. Figured I'd switch it up a bit and see how it looks.

Both look fine, but I like the one you painted. Car looks great.

Thank you, sir. I'm leaning towards the painted one myself.

Trust me, it is VERY tedious, but I think the end result came out pretty good. Needless to say, I went through quite a few toothpicks to get the right one, lol.

Haha, thank you...?

I would take both off. They look dumb.

Unfortunately, there are two holes in the fender from the two alignment pins on the back of the emblem. So, that option, is a no go.
