I have a matte black m5 emblem, but I am nervous to put it on. You have to be VERY careful with this paint. I can only use Mothers Cali Gold car wash shampoo, because it doesn't have any type of wax ingredient in it. If any wax/wax product/wax ingredient touches the paint, it needs to be repainted. Same goes if it ever gets scratched. I cant use tire shine, because overspray cannot touch this paint. You also always have to clean off bugs on the front bumper, atleast every 2 days.
There is some type of clear coat or something on it where the water beads right off, and BMW is doing R&D creating a product for me to use, they are doing long-term testing (must be done before they can call it a bmw product) and i'll have it by April 2010.
So I might use painters tape and plastic and section off the badge area, and use GooGone to take off the adhesive. This way, if anything goes wrong the badge will cover up the problem area of the paint.
That is the only reason it has not been done yet. The part is sitting in my room.. going to do it this weekend maybe.  |
sorry mixup of numbers
CF40 is what i was thinking of
and i see, must be tough
hope the clear coat works.
so you dont have to baby your car as much, but im sure you will anyway. lol
best of luck to you and your ride
