If you want to give a touch of originality to the original manufacturer's emblem, you can consider painting the inner edges matte black while leaving the front surface chrome: to do this, there is no need to mask anything, just choose the right product.

There are special paints available (known as Plasti Dip) that essentially coat the surface with a sort of film, which is also very durable (it is used to cover wheel rims) and can be removed like a real film when needed.

After thoroughly cleaning the emblem, spray it with Plasti Dip paint and, once dry, remove the film that has formed only from the front surface of the emblem.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
