Default Painted Nissan emblem

i've searched for this one using the advanced search, but had no luck. can someone guide me to a thread with a black Z with black painted Nissan emblems? or if you have one, post some pics.

btw, i don't want to shave the emblems.

From the research I've done some people have blacked out their emblems using VHT nightshades to sort of tint it so it appears black chrome looking. I attempted this with my back emblem and it came out horrible. Then again, I'm not a very good painter. I ended up just getting them from courtesy parts. Looks pretty good on my CS IMO.

I could paint a set for you if you want I guess? I use automotive paint/clear and can color match it to anything you want (if that's what you want?). Just throwing that out there. Or you can rattle can it too I suppose.

i've got a friend who's going to do it. we're going to see how well smoking them with candy paint will work.

Be sure to clean them with wax/grease remover and do not touch the surface at all prior to painting them.

Once I get my rims I am going to paint mine gold, I just need to see the color first so I can match it. Just make sure you prep VERY well, and use some automotive paint and clear coat as well.
