Looks good Stallion408!

I still have the stock one, but I'm curious how you made yours, as I have thought about trying to make a custom one.

A Cobra Decepticon? No way that'd happen. Decepticons would TRASH Cobra, and take over any and all resources thereto. By far. Even if Starscream and Cobra Commander sounded the same... >.>

/But the work IS nice! Good lookin'!

It's fairly simple. All you have to do is take off your medallion and take a 200 grit or steel wool and just sand off a bit of the sheen so the paint sticks then add 2 coats of primer, then I did 4 coats of flat black. Now for the emblem either you can get a decal print or stencil it ( I did deal) on. As for the Ford i did it with really small paint brush with acrylic red paint. To finish it off I did 6 coats of gloss clear coat. If you want it high gloss use high gloss black paint if you want a matte look use flat paint and flat clear coat

**** if your afraid you might not like it I highly recommend no primer and instead of spray paint use plastidip. It will came of really easily even with heavy coats of clear coat. But and I will hold up with just that plastidip that's how I did my first one.

Hope this helps.

I have to disagree. Seeing how COBRA has seemingly unlimited financial resources (albeit dysfunctional leadership with various psychological issues) they could easily use EMPs to disable the Decepticons and handle the rest with blowtorches.

I'm pretty sure he's referencing the comic book Transformers/G.I. Joe. or you guys are very funny.

Stallion408,

When you did the decal, did you just simply place it over the stock one? If I swap mine, I'll probably do just the decal...so curious if it would stick well enough by itself or if you put the clear over that as well to try to protect it.

Yea you just place it over the stock one and let it sit for about 20 min then you can shoot the clear over the entire thing to protect the decal and paint job. Will recommend to do it when there's no wind or dust around learned that the hard way.
