You could just paint them ON the car. That's what I did and just taped everything off and it worked fine...it just takes a while to tape in between the symbol. Took me about 20 min just to do the A symbol lol

^^^^ will work ... prep the area with a wipe of rubbing alcohol first. It will hold up in the rain... just don't apply it in the rain.

Alright guys heres a pic of the painted emblems, gloss black..I did the TL and the A symbol. i left the acura letters off, took me 35 mins to debadge and get the remains off with goo gone and another hour and a half to paint.
Debadged TL letters and Acura letters..yeah shes dirty=[, trust me i washed it after:



You can see how shiny it came out in this one. looks really good:
idk what that little dot is at the top of this emblem but when it dried it wasnt there.

idk what that little dot is at the top of this emblem but when it dried it wasnt there.


And to make up for the dirty pic of the car:
