Default Satin Black Rear Hamburger?

I've searched through many threads already, but haven't really came up with what i'm looking for, so i'm sorry if this question has been asked before, I just couldn't seem to find it. Does anyone have an idea of a place where I could purchase a full satin, or flat black Rear Nissan Emblem "Hamburger"? Not just the lettering painted black, or that Black Pearl, but rather the whole emblem.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
It's a toss-up between the Tommy Kaira Rear Z Emblem, or this Satin/Flat Black Emblem, if I can find one...
My Z is Superblack BTW.

Thanks

i'm doing all my Z emblems next weekend. I don't want to have ANY silver on the car at all. Only RED & BLACK.

Yea, that was my other option, but I would rather just try to find one elsewhere... Any Pics of your emblem? Thanks!

I can find the black pearl or hyper black burgers all over - and they are expensive. It's harder to find satin black. I resorted to paint.

As I said before... I could not find exactly what I was looking for. All the emblems listed on the sight you posted are Pearl Black, which is pretty much just Black Chrome, and that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a Flat Black, or Satin Black Emblem.
Thank You For Your Help Though

How much are these black emblems? I bought an OEM emblem for the front, and it is about 42ish bucks local, 30 ish with an account with the dealer, I happen to got mines for around 27bucks plus tax near 30$. Online is about same with shipping very expensive emblem. I figure rear would be the same since they are almost similiar sizes if not the same.

That is an option, but i would rather just see if i can find one that is already painted. If I can't find a flat black one that I like than I will most likely do so

My hesitation is that if I paint the emblem them I will have to paint the 350z emblem too.

What paint did everyone use?

Also, still haven't seen the pics on anyone's whip, that would be very helpful..

I would think that some sort of 'DupliColor' Brand Paint would work best... Any input on this? I would love to see pictures of the black emblems on someones car who has done this. Thanks

If your going to paint yourself make sure you use a scotch-brite pad to scuff the surface, then prime with self-etching primer (black). Any decent brand of paint will be fine if you use these steps first.

I will be doing this to mine soon, I am in the process of prepping the hood and bumper cover for new paint. Will post pics later, maybe next month.
