steering wheel emblem... I painted my steering wheel emblem on my Corvette and my uncles, and it looks way better than a cheesy decal. Let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Dean

Looks sweet Dean, I want to have mine done. How long does it take, and what would you charge to do such a thing, I am sure that it looks even better in person, I sure would rather have that than a sticker, just plan awesome

Thanks everyone! I have been building models and painting since I was very little, and I am also an artist. So I decided I would paint mine knowing that I have the skills to do so. I used water based acrylic enamels for the color and a water based polyurathane satin clear to seal it. The clear is flexible and won't crack or chip off. I have slammed my fist into it honking at some idiot and then realized after the fact that it held up nicely. I didn't mean to test it...LOL! But I have had mine on for about 6 months now with no problems. It has been in the heat and cold. I posted a pic to see what people thought since I recently did my uncles car and he said I could probably make some extra money doing it for other people.
Jet, it takes me about 3 hours of tedious work to complete it. I am thinking I should get about $75 for the work. But that is negotiable.

It looks like I am going to do Jets steering wheel soon and I will post pics when it is done. I am doing a yellow border with shading, it should look nice. I've been told that I should charge $100 because $75 is too cheap, but I will stick to $75 for a custom emblem. If anyone wants theirs done locally, I can do it in about 3 hours on your car.
