It's dark by me btw.
The "Mazda" has a bubble in it so I have to restart it. I dunno what to use to take off the paint without damaging the plastic. The front flying M is clear coated and drying. Clear coat on it has a slight bubble but it's fading, and it should be ready to go on the car tomorrow afternoon after I get back from school.

The rear flying M is a SOB and not cooperating at all, it still has some slivers of copper. I'm just gonna start cutting it up for the batman mod, and that should be done before it starts raining again.

Those are the wheels I'm pretty much buying, whenever I get the chance(probably never :bowrofl: ).

Good question. What paint did you use on it? Unfortunately, everything that is aggressive enough to remove paint is not too good on plastic.

Some paint from Lowes. I'm trying bleach bath again on it, but I don't think it's gonna do anything. Next, I might try acetone and a cloth, if not, then just sand it and repaint it. I don't wanna shell out $$$ for a whole new emblem and continue to run around with painters tape on my trunk.

I wouldn't do that. Acetone will quickly melt the ABS (most ketones are fairly harsh on plastic). If it does that and makes it gummy, the paint will not adhere well at all. Any solvents I can think of that might work and be safer on the plastic would be difficult to obtain.

Also, I can't run on treadmills. I am not coordinated enough or something. I'd probably kill myself.
I come from a line of hairy men and I HATE body hair. I shave/trim the majority of my body.

Meh. I just don't like the Mirage enough to do something like that. Even if I were to put all the time and effort into that, I'd still have a Mirage. Not worth it IMHO.
