Default anyone paint thier chrome trunk emblem

I purchased a new trunk emblem for my 2011 GT, I want to paint it black and am going to use the new "black chrome" paint from Dupli-color. Anyone tried this yet?

Its i before e right? LOL

OP, I painted mine black but used a satin black. Used fishing line to saw it off. Used goo gone to clean up the doublestick tape. Sanded it lightly then sparyed it. Couple of coats. Got some 3m auto doublestock tape to put it back on. Real easy to do. Go for it. Here's a video where you can see it.

Except after "c", and except in the following words "their, species, science, sufficient, ancient, society, seize, weird, theism, eight, weight, protein, sovereignty, foreign, vein, feisty, kaleidoscope, being, neighbor, etc"

I hated that rule, it is so incorrect.


Anyway, What I'd like to do is dismount the fake rear gas-cap wannabe emblem. I am a stickler of having crap on my car that actually functions. I wonder if it is possible to mod an S197 and convert the fake gas cap emblem it into a functional gas cap?

Flux capacitor discharge ports!


I bought the car used, it's a back up sensor system. I would never put one on but dude it works so good, I love it.

05xrunner, your car is tight man. Great job dude.
