You guys might want to try this, I did it with my Honda and it looked SICK!
1. Go to the local model/crafts store and buy a can of "transparent candy-apple spray paint". The color is up to you. In this case, let's use RED, for example.
Also, buy a can of clearcoat spray paint. Also buy 3M doule sided tape, and a razor blade.
2. After you have used fishing line to inch your way behind the emblems, pull them off the surface of the vehicle. (Use the fishing line as a "saw" to cut throgh the gooey stuff). Be careful not to brake them. They will be reused.
3. After you are done taking off the emblems you want to paint, line them up on the ground... Spray paint them with the colored paint. Let em air dry for about 30 min or more...
4. Then paint over with clear paint to seal color in...
5. Use the razor blade to cut 3M sticky tape to the correct sizes behind emblems so they will be placed again on vehicle...
6. TA-DAA!!! You now have emblems with the "anodized" look in the color of your choice!!!!
NOTE: This will work with the inner chrome of headlights, turn signals, sidemarkers, etc. The paint will withstand heat, weather, etc.
