Default Where to buy black pearl emblems?

I always hear about these on E-Bay, but I can't seem to find them.

I say make your own: dental floss to take off the emblems, goo gone for the epoxy left behind, steel wool for roughing the stock emblems up, black pearl auto spray for the color, clear coat for protection, remount with 3M Mounting Tape.

I did this to all of my emblems. They are holding up magnificently.

do it yourself....its so worth it.

The eBay ones will peel within 6 months.

The dealer ones are outrageous price-wise.

DIY takes like $5 in materials and an hour in time.

I did mine yesterday, i was lazy so i didnt take mine off, just tape them up...
I used that spray on window/tail light tint stuff, works wonders, Black chrome
on white, nothing beats this

Bassicly if you dont have this spray stuff use a TINY bit of black with a bunch of clear

1 part black, 13 parts clear.

Spray lightly, should take about 6 coats to give it hat nice shinny black chrome =D

I have Ebay ones for well over a year and they still look good. They've faded a little but it still looks good. No peeling or anything like that.
