Emblem color change
So I was trying something new with my front and rear emblems, I had painted them the same color as I had done my callipers... Im trying to do more of a black out theme and remove chrome... any thoughts? I will add a picture of front emblem sometime this week

Are your emblems black or blue? Its kinda hard to tell... As for opinion, I currently have black plastidip emblems on my car as well and I think it looks much better that way. Post pics once you install

Looks good. Do you have a DIY on painting the emblems? If not, you should create one.
Did you have to prep the emblems before spraying painting?
What brand/type of spray paint did you use?

I dont currently have a DIY on it but there wasnt much prep work, but i was very sure to clean them then rub them to dry with a micro fiber towel. Then I simply began to spray them, make sure to go easy on the first coat and wait for it to dry. The next few coats you can lay them on heavy but keep the spray can atleast 7 inches away to ensure no drips or bubbles. The paint I used was of the brand Dupli-Color, metalcast, this stuff looks amazing and its available at practically all autozone or pep boy stores.. and it is heat resistant so its also good for engine or even brakes. let me know how it goes and good luck!

It will be the one with the blue lid, dosnt say the exact name of the color though.. and its not a hassle to put on at all so it goes on great!
