4/5th gen Prelude/Honda magnetic logos

If your Prelude is a weekend warrior. Add a Prelude logo so people don't confuse your prelude with a JDM Integra ever again.



What you need:
12 x 24 magnetic sheet (found at most craft stores)
Scissors
Computer & printer
Spray paint (optional)
Modeling paint
Double sided tape

1) Down load 4th gen LOGO (http://aycu13.webshots.com/image/42492/2003153653608037796_rs.jpg) to your computer. 5th Gen LOGO (http://aycu07.webshots.com/image/47166/2005185169657333853_rs.jpg)
4th gen download (http://www.oakvalleyswimming.com/new%20folder/prelude%20logo.pdf) / 5th gen download (http://www.oakvalleyswimming.com/new%20folder/prelude97-01%20logo.pdf) here if you want a 19 ½ inch 4/5th gen logos and skip to step 3.

2) Download Rasterbater (http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/) to rasterize the image to any size you like. For best results use dot sizes of 1-3 mm.

3) File should open in Adobe Reader where you can print the logo. Just ignore the small dots they wont be printed. Should print like this.

4) Tape the pages together

5) Place the logo on the magnetic sheet so you can size the amount of magnet you’ll use.

6) Cut the magnetic sheet to size.

7) Now use the double sided tape to tape down the logo to the magnetic sheet so it doesn’t move around as you cut.

8) Now cut around the letters leaving the loops and some area in the center to paint later. Don’t cut the space between the P and r.

9) Carefully pull the paper off the magnet not to rip the paper.

10) If you want to change the color of the logo. Use the spray to paint the whole thing.

11) While the paper is off the magnet cut the white area off the paper.

12) Place the paper back on the dry magnet. Using the double sided tape.

13) With a pen/sharpie outline the area that will need to be painted. Such as the loops and center area that was left for strength.

14) Now carefully paint with the modeling paint the areas you just marked. I used black, but you can use any color that matches your car (if your car is red use red paint).

16) Slap it on the car and see how it looks.

Dude, I can't believe no one said anything about this yet. Awesome write-up. Very informative and careful step by step instructions make it very doable. I like it a lot bro. If I had a 4th Gen I would do this to mine... I'm gonna have to make the lettering in 5th Gen style.
