I painted my rear "H" emblem black. I scuffed the emblem slightly and then sprayed it w/2 coats of flat black spray paint and then 2 coats of clear. Pretty easy. BTW I used Krylon paint. Hope this helps.

 

i knew it! wasnt sure though...if u had to scuff/sand it down a bit for the primer to adhere. but thanks for clearing that up guys

 

acrylic enamel or laquer paint?

 

all the steps the other guy said but with Brite Touch BT-43...cant beat it...

can be had @ Autozone for ~$2.00/can

 

Random can of paint in basement :

 

not bad.

 

i actually like that look.

 

mine turned out great when i painted them with krylon paint.. just do thin coats soo it doesnt bubble.

 

sounds ghetto, it looked way better up close and with my 99-00 EM1 tails. But the car got stolen so I have no updated pics

 

I like the red coupe above. Think my milano red EK needs black emblems. Not a single piece of chrome on my hatch and think I'll keep it that way.

I think I'll knock this out tomorrow. I have to order the rubber clips for the rear "H" since the local dealership wants $5.?? for one

Bump for more pics

 

Could someone please remind me how to properly remove the emblems for paint so that I'll be able to put them back on? Just carefully use dental floss??
