Default Painting center caps

I have white GS300 with black pearl emblems. For some reason, my center caps have a gold Lexus emblem which in my opinion doesn't match the rest of the car very well. I have not been able to find center caps with the black pearl emblem online so I was thinking of hand painting the gold Lexus emblems on the center cap to match the black pearl emblems.

Has anyone else done this?

I painted around my center caps with official Toyota oem matching paint that I ordered, long story short a few days later it peeled off, take it to a body shop to do it right or it will not stay put...
