This is my first thread so here goes.. Hope you all enjoy this simple diy job :)
Car mats on a budget
Materials:
White spray paint ($7 from local bunnings, the helpful lady recommened a flat enamel for best results, unfortunately they had none in stock)
Cheap carpet mats (picked mine up for $10)
cardboard (fairly thin as it needs to be quite easy to cut through)
Stanley knife or similar
double sided tape
Computer and printer
Glue (ahh remeber the days of school where glue fights were the best)
Metal ruler
1. google any logo from the net you would like to put on your mats ( i used a honda badge and civic logo). Remeber Bold and simpler works best!!
:honda:
2. Print the logo out at the size you want
3.Glue the logo to the carboard. keep it square to the carboard which makes it easier to to alling later on the mat
4. WIth stanley knief and ruler, cut the logo out.

5. Apply double sided tape to the rear of the carboard stencil

6. Place stencil over the area you want the logo to be and stick down hard (the better the last two step are done the better the image produced so take the time to get it right)

7. Apply a coat of the white spray paint. Allow to dry. and repeat 5 or so times. (or more if you wish)

8. Remove stencil carefully ( i found peeling it back from corner slowly stopped any residue spilling onto the black areas)
9. allow to dry well before use

10. This can be repeated for just about any logo and looks great with internal neons. :)
