Okay have a Maxima coming up. The client pointed out that the matte black paint in the N in Nissan on the silver emblem has come off. It's barley noticeable. It's the one on the front grille. I don't think the emblem is able to be removed. It looks like it's part of the grille. I think he is just as OCD as we all do. He wants to get it filed in again.

Anyone have any ideas. I was thinking Prep it with some IPA. remove residue with distilled water. I was just thinking matte black spray paint on a fine tiny artist paint brush. Dab it in there and let it dry. It would be great if it was not a vertical surface.

Thanks again detailers

What about plasti-dip? It's removable but there's no chance of messing anything up. But I don't know if it's inlayed or something like that.

Thanks for the idea. The type is "inlayed". It's actually recessed type that was painted matte black

For the little bit of paint that is missing from the "N" I'm not sure it's worth repainting. I looked into the plasti-dip and it has some longevity and if you screw up you can peel it right off and start over. I can even fill all the letters and wipe the surface of the emblem off so they all look even.
