    Default Veil Aplication and painting Emblem Matt Black

    I will be applying veil to my front and rear headlights over the next month. I also intend to get a couple of laser shields over each of my license plates - front and back.



    My question concern the shiny chrome VW emblem on the front middle of my grill. Should I paint it matt black to prevent reflection for it?

    I can also buy a matt black emblemless grill and replace my current one. My preference is just to paint the emblem black.

    Any thoughts?

    tnx

    "De-chroming" certainly won't hurt - and as I've discussed with The VEIL Guy before, he believes that just using visible-spectrum only "black" would be more than sufficient.

    But remember, it's not just the chrome trim that reflects.

    Have a look at The VEIL Guy's IR-video series - and also read through this thread:
