This is to show you how I made the X Ray badge. First I had to figure out the font type of text that was used in creating the GNX badges. When that was done I needed to create the proper size and crisp lines needed. I used velum over an oversized X Ray text so I could add the tape to clean up the lines. Then I resized the test to be the same as the GNX emblem. I then took this design to get acid etched. The acid etch process takes your design and etches it into magnesium. The different depths are determined by the amount of time you leave it in the acid. I made two parts in case I made a mistake in cutting it out. After I cut it out I painted it and then added the tape a put it on the car. In total I probably have 40 hours into making this badge.
