Default "Redding" Out My Badges

Does anyone know what spray paint coating works well for making my IS 250's badges red? I know Plasti Dip works really well, but red is hard to find in stores.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions for this?

Thanks!

Red plastidip is the way to go...use the clearcoat for extra gloss if you like
I say this bc it's reversible...because honestly not sure how red would turn out

Red? If you got a theme for your car I say go for it bro! I think you can buy red plastidip from www.dipyourcar.com and you can checkout his channel for the how-to:

We have to see it when it's complete. I don't know how I feel about red, but if it's done right I can't say anything. Post pics and keeP us posted!

$20 says his car is black.. in which case.. don't buy red plasti-dip. Either keep the emblems, take them off completely, or get black plasti-dip.
