Want to snazz up your Acura TL but don't want to shell out $35 or so for an Acura logo decal to fit in the recess on the front bumper? Me either. So I painted it.

Note: This is not an original idea of mine. I swiped it from PsychoRx on the Acurazine forum - acurazine.com Thanks PsychoRx!

Step 1Gather Materials

Gather Materials
You don't need too much to accomplish this:

1) Clear laminate film - find it with "contact" paper
2) Craft knife with fresh, sharp blade. #11 is probably best
3) Spray paint of the color desired. I used black on my Anthracite Metalic TL
4) Masking supplies
5) Degreaser/cleaner. I used Prep-All, found in the auto dept at Wal*Mart
6) Cotton swabs
7) Scissors

Optional (not shown)
1) Clear coat paint

Great guide, I'm gonna save it and try it sometime in the future if I get a new car :)

 really nice job...but wouldn't it have taken the same time to just use the masking tape, that you had, and outlined the letters, then getting some newspaper to mask off the other areas?

I can dig, pretty simple and doesn't seem too time consuming. Though I don't think it works aesthetically with the car of choice.
