Default anybody know of a product that turns gold emblems to chrome/silver?

I have a 1995 sc400 and i have these factory chrome wheels with a gold emblem on the center cap. I was wondering if any of you guys know of a paint product that can turn that ugly ghetto gold emblem into a chrome/silverish looking emblem instead. The rest of the emblems on my car are chrome/silver.

Any help would be appreciated

I'm cheap and don't want to buy another center cap..and i can't find the ones i'm looking for ANYWHERE anyways

thanks

You bought a Lexus. Don't be cheap. Save up and do it right.

you could have them chrome stripped and re-chromed, but that will cost you a good 25 bucks a cap.

You may be able to polish off the gold layer, hopefully leaving a chrome finish, the inside corners will be tough to get though.
I've thought about doing this on my trunk/hood emblems, but also like the sleeper image too.
