dupli-color should b fine. as long as you clean the emblems good before you paint. ive painted emblems i had lying around before to try it out, i lightly sanded them with 2000 grit wetsand paper then washed them off. then i premiered the emblem then painted them. im stuck at school right now but ill post some pics later on ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I think the grommets are supposed to 'guide' the placement of the emblem, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm hoping I can install these emblems the same place where I pull them off, because I'm rather peculiar about OEM fitment.
I'm going to order some Tamiya Polycarbonate on the internet. I'm really trying to aim for the 'black pearl' style, rather than going entirely satin/matte black.
