Default What is the best way to get the emblems black?
Hey guys,

I tried the infamous plastidip this weekend and it didn't work out too well for me. Other peoples look great, but I did not have luck. I'm not thinking I should just have my front grill and all the back emblems powder coated. What is the best way to go about this? How I did successfully remove and put back on the emblems? What adhesive do I use or glue or is there a place that will do it so that they're good as new. I'm super **** about my car so I want to do this right. Please please please help. Thanks guys!

If $ ain't an issue just get black pearl emblems from Sewell. I think it's like $250 for a set. It's should come with instructions too
