black out grill and emblem

so I have a vinyl plotter for sticker making and thought i'd see how easily i could make strips to cover the chrome and emblem. Took all of 2 minutes to cut and install. I left a ring of chrome on the emblem for two reasons, 1 vinyl doesn't conform well to rounded surfaces so as it gets more to the edge it's going to wrinkle, and 2, it still looks OK because i have the chrome rings on the fog lights.

The gloss-black vinyl blends right in w/ the paint, looks like it's supposed to be that way.

hey Rhi~ I haven't found a better image that will translate to vinyl that I'm happy with if you want crossbones too. If you look around and find something shoot the image to me via PM or email. I can do what i already sent you if one of those will work, otherwise i gotta keep looking for the best image.

Can you do a Blue Carbon Fiber one with White Ford Script?

Have you tried using a heat gun? That should help with the edges. You gotta be careful with it, though, or you'll melt the vinyl.
