Has anyone tried this? Or does anyone have any advice on how I could do it (front and back badges, and lancer evolution badges)?

My inspiration for it is ahhhermm, a particular model of the Camry which has black badges. Looks cool on a black car.

I don't want to debadge, but I don't like the chrome look.

Thanks,
Lee

For the front you can do the same thing, but just mask off as much of the front end as possible and do it on the car. TAKE YOUR DAMN TIME or it WILL look like ****

 

Cool thanks.

If only the search looked for synonyms...I searched for blacked-out badges rather than painted emblems.

 

use dental floss to remove

sand alot to remove the chrome stuff
prime
paint
clear (optional)
double sided tape to reinstall

 

Very nice. Do you have this done to the rear and if so post some pics please! Rally Red is the best!

 

I did mine front and rear. If you want u can buy them from lancershop.com and paint them .. then just remove ur stock ones. I don't have pics of the rear badge sorry

 

Here is a pic during the process.. If someone doesnt post a pic up soon I can take one when I get home in a few hours... I also painted my keyhole black:

 

Here is how I painted the front.. I highly recommend buying another emblem to paint.. You have to remove the bumper to safley get the damn thing off.. (at least I did)

I think if you had a new one painted and ready to go you could force the old one off without all the hassle.. then just stick the new one on

 

Couple crappy photochops..

 

I did a black vinyl over mine instead of painting.

 

Bought the black Evo VIII badge from the UK (the MRs come with it in the UK) and painted the Mitsu emblem black with some Krylon paint after sanding & primer.

 

nice! looks really sharp on white!

 

black on black

 

very nice

 

Where'd you get that vynal from?
