Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

I’m thinking along the same lines. If the horn button turns out to be stainless steel as stated by the seller, I’ll polish the whole thing to a mirror finish and then decide what to paint. I’ve even thought about painting the area around the letters metalflake orange to tie it in with the fog lights.

If it turns out to be old/tired chrome plating, I’ll sandblast the whole thing and paint it white. Then I can either paint the area around the letters black (or some other color), or do just the reverse with the letters and border ending up black.

If the center is mounted from the back side of the grille bar (which I believe it is) it should provide more of a recessed factory look which might look best. I’m looking forward to playing around with it.
