I have some bronze wheels, and the silver emblems just don't look right imo. So, I want to paint the emblems, the two acura symbols and the Acura emblem, bronze.

Is there any method, prep work, special kind of paint that I should use? If anyone has some tips that would be great

Do a search because I've read plenty of people succesfully painting their emblems.
I would suggest sanding them with 320 after getting them real clean.
Then wipe them with some degreaser/paint-prep and spray them.
Usually metallic paint is real thin so you might either want to prime them first or just be real careful by laying down many very thing layers.
Good luck and post some pics.

I only came across one useful thread, so i just wanted to make sure what was said in that thread was actually correct.

Very easy to do the 2 "A" emblems. The "ACURA" emblem on the other hand is pretty hard since it has that black background. I have a honda emblem that I got my bro to put some vinyl over it. Does the job for me

Wow, that looks great man

I don't think I'll have to use the vinyl as the acura doesn't have that black backround.

What was the process that you used to paint the H emblems.
