    What would everyone recommend as the best brand/type of primer and spray paint for painting emblems?

    I`ve narrowed it down to House of Kolor, PPG, DuPont, and BASF.



    Any opinions on any of these?

    Actually, I was gonna ask about not spraying, but rather doing them by hand with something like One Shot striping paint. You`re talking about a pretty small thing, right?

    Thanks!



    Yeah, I`m just going to remove the manufacturer emblems on my truck and give them a sanding+wet sanding/primer/paint. I`ve already debadged the model so I just want to paint up the remaining manufacturer emblems.



    After all the reading I`ve done it sounds like HOK is the best. I wish they did some colors in spray paint cans, because I don`t even own a spray paint gun, but I`d still like to use their quality of product.



    Any recommendations for GOOD auto spray paint cans?

    My local autobody/paint supply place makes up cans using different types of paints. See if any such stores in your area can help you out.

    HOK isn`t the best. There isn`t a best between those four. They`re all pretty much equal. I use BASF and have used PPG and duPont before.
    I do mobile detailing for friends and family. Might not be the absolute best, but I do it for free.

    Well, what I meant was many people prefer HOK over the other three.

    I`ve read threads on other forums where body shop owners commented on HOK being the only brand they use. Like everything else, I`m sure it just depends on who you ask, but I`ve heard enough good things about them to rank high in my book.
