Default Black Pearl touch-up paint?

The Front L badge on my GS is all chipped up and I was wondering if anyone has repainted their black pearl badges or even if there is Black Pearl touch up paint?
Buying a whole new set of badges is out of the questions at $295 for the entire set from the dealer!!

I ordered just the rear L in the black pearl from my dealership because it was damaged, and I believe it cost $50 or so. Im sure the front badge would be a bit more but that is better than buying the entire set.

Not sure on painting it, I dont think that would come out too well. You can check with a body shop and see if they can color match it for you and maybe put the paint in a spray can, but then that would cost probably the same as replacing the emblem. I would really avoid ebay as they sell junk. I bought my original set of the black pearl emblems from a member here and they were great. Then I bought the black pearl emblems from luxurymods and they didnt match at all and some of the emblems were larger than what the original emblems were
