Thinking of painting my emblems black thoughts?

 

^try it with plastidip.

if you dont like it, you can peel the plastidip right off.

 

Agree that you should try plastidip - or buy a second set of emblems just in case you want to revert back to silver. I had mine done black (but my TL is black, not white) and I love the look. Very clean. I say go for it.

 

Think it will look good on white car?

 

^yes, black and white are great contrast colors.



Try plastidip, sir.
If you do not like it, you can peel it off.

 

I was gonna just paint them I work at a body shop so it's no problem

 

it is a problem, you seem undecided.
if you paint them, and dont like it..........you're gonna have to buy new emblems.

if you plastidip them, you can get an idea of what it looks like without going the permanent route.

if it werent a problem, you would have done it already. just saying.

 

For sure.

 

Here's what it looks like on a silver TL.

those are black chrome.
but still the general idea.

 

I ordered new ones because putting old ones on after taking them off is a pain w/the glue. Painting new emblems black tomorrow

 

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

 

Hey any pictures of the black emblem??

 

Russ, one of our vendors (I think it was HeelToe) sells black Acura emblems.

Have you considered painting them gunmetal instead of black? Those would look good too-they may not be so stark of contrast too.

 

I painted them today at work gonna put on Monday. Will post pics

 

No I didn't but that sounds like a cool idea. Thanks

 

Holy smokes those pics look super-clean! I have Basque Red Pearl and am wondering how it would look...

 

Does anyone sell matte black or gunmetal ones? I have a WDP and think black would look good but I'm not crazy about the black chrome. Also, how hard is it to remove the emblems? Are they just glued on?

 

Here's a sample when I painted mine in black

 

Nice car! That's hot! Any more pics of your car. Looks sweet

 

They're very easy to take off. Just double sided taped on

 

The gunmetal would give you just that slight bit of contrast that would look awesome.

 

You gotta epoxy primer those emblems for the paint to stick.

 

 

I think I really like it! I was considering debagging but this looks sweet. Great job.

 

Thanx. Was thinking of painting front grill and piece on trunk black also

 

Looks beautiful!

 

Thank you

 

It looks really good!

 

looks good!

 

Thanks

 

Russ, can you share how you painted them and which paint? It looks really good.

 

Sure I will post tomorrow

5. 3 coats of clear coat

got pics from farther back? any plans for front of car?

 

looks really good!!!

 

I would like it even more with just the- A- on there.

Ever considered removing the ACURA & the TL badges?

It gives it a nice clean look...................

 

looks cool, i would like to have the black chrome on my silver tl....

 

I'll take some further back when I wash this week. Kinda dirty now. The front I painted grill I plan on getting lower spoilers and painting roof black when I get a chance

 

I didn't like the way it looked w/just the A did it when I put emblems on
