Default What kind of paint to use?

I want to paint my rear "Acura" emblem because shaving it will cost to much. What kind of black paint should I use to paint it? I want it to last. Flat black would be nice.

i was thinking of painting my bumper lenses Black. What kind of paint can be used for that? Ive seen pics of the bumper lenses (turn signals) painted black and it looks dope.

You can use this ricer canned smoke tint, I hear it works well. Or you can actaully just tint them like windows, I also hear this works.

I'd go with this approach. It's the cheapest, and you can do it just like the rice sellers. Spend 1/2 hour by taking out your lenses, then covering them with the film and voila.

and when we take the emblem off, how do we put it back on? Glue? What glue will be safe for the paint?

3M makes a lot of different types of glue for this...i recommend getting the 3M glue in the TUBE...my buddy used the stuff in the spray can and it got a lil messy.
