The nosecone logo got painted today, I painted it in-situ and masked the surrounding area. The car is ceramic coated and standard tape does not stick, so I broke out the expensive green frog tape. It needed a hard rub to make it stick.
The logo got 6 light coats with 15 minutes between each coat. I am 99% happy with the finish, there is one “blob” that I can see, so it may get re-done after the tail ones are sprayed.
Masked up and first 2 coats
6 coats later and the bottom area peeled clean
Peeling the top section

That’s interesting, would be good to see a shot from further back to see how it blends into the car overall.
What paint did you use? Did you prep the logo first?

Just cleaned very well and microfibered it. I used Plasti dip
Ditto, did mine a few years ago, front and back.

looks smart contrasting like that
Well, it’s almost a year since I did the snout paint. so here is a pic today (after a wash and detail) of the logo.
After 12 months of, albeit, limited driving but full exposure to the spring, summer, winter and spring this year, the logo is still looking unblemished.
I am impressed with Plasti Dip and the rear MX5 and tail logo will be done this spring. No need to rush these things, afterall.
