Painted steering wheel emblem.
I did have one of those decals and it looked really tacky, even on the black OEM wheel. So I decided to try and actually paint the Steering wheel emblem and thought it will turn out much better. Yes I will let it dry overnight and retouch up the black lines better. I'm gonna love it!

That looks really good - I don't think I have that steady of a hand to make the lines that crisp.

Looks great! I wish I had a steady hand and a pinch of artistic talent to pull that off.
Maybe tomorrow morning, I'll drink a few Starbucks lattes and give it a try...

Looks good. What did you use to clean the bag with prior to painting. I thought of trying this too but don't know what to use to clean it off if I screw it up. I have to chance it now.

You won't screw it up if you take your time. Practice on something and learn how the paint flows out of the paint pen BEFORE you jump on the emblem. It's really pretty easy IF you TAKE YOUR TIME!
P.S. disconnect the battery.
