Blacking Out Mini Logo

Was thinking about Blacking out the Mini Logo. Was wondering if there was any options in blacking it out instead of using vinyl.

I saw some pictures of people who have done it, searched for it, but coudln't find some pictures.

if you guys have some pictures and how you guys did it, I would be more than greatful.

I was thinking about removing the emblems and replacing them with vinyl emblems. All I need is a good picture of the stock emblems to scan into the computer. I have a vinyl guy that will scale the scan and produce decals. Could probably customize the decals as well. Any interest?? Anybody remove the r56 emblems yet?

Fine grit sand paper
Rattle can Flat Black paint
3M adhesive

Remove> paint> let dry> put some adhesive on the back and it's done!

Not sure if I've got photos or not.

It would have to be either paint, vinyl, or make a new one from scratch. I vote you try the last one and then go into business for your self and hook me up with free gear from time to time cuz i gave you the idea

I know lyle does vinyls, but wanted to do some hands on stuff.

hm.. I saw a blue mini (i think that it was blue 07), that was blacking out many of the chrome parts, and saw that he blacked out the mini.. I'm not really for sanding the badge,

probably would end up doing some vinyl. any suggestions on the vinyl to make it look nice?
