Big thumbs up! I've been wanting to buy the black chrome emblems for $115 for a while now. I'd wondered about taking my golds off and painting them as you did. Looks pretty clean. I'm gonna try it.

NRG - I also have a green SC that came with emblems that had been painted black. I converted everything to chrome and switched over to the alloy GS400 wheels. Such an improvement. The black emblems kinda gave it a stealth look though.

However, I do have a full set of previously gold - now painted black emblems - for a 93 SC400 if anyone is interested.

Default what color??

Well, we've seen gold, chrome, and black on the white SC's, but I don't think anyone has done WHITE emblems on a white SC. Hmm...

I wonder about a charcoal-ish kind of color, otherwise go black. Trust me, I know everything .
