Sewell Lexus but your going to pay an arm and leg for them... Buy the chrome ones on ebay than paint..

 

Going to try this see how it comes out

 

I tend to forget about those, when all you see is that standard spray cans at auto part store... gonna buy some to store... when the times comes.

 

Did this today. What a great way to save $80.

 

Bump for updates.

 

This is an awesome DYI - thanks for sharing.

I would like to see more pictures of people who did it already though

 

Bringing back an old thread. I just did this on my 2008 is-f and it came out great. Almost matches my black pearl license plate frame perfectly. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for the black pearl look.

 

Got any photos?

 

Here are some pictures of mine. Could only do one at a time on my phone. Could have gone a little darker but wanted to keep kind of lighter on dark car. The license plate frame is actually a black pearl frame.

 

One more picture from front grill

 

One more back picture.

 

Interesting. I need to try this.

 

How long will this last? Any issues of feeling so far?

 

The front did peel from I'm assuming rocks so I did purchase a black pearl emblem for the front. The back still looks as good as the first day I did it.

 

Time to change up the emblems... Found the rear emblem and "V8" symbol + Tamiya paint on eBay for $56 OTD.. This beats the current price I've found on ebay which someone is selling black pearl "Plated" emblems for $79 and $59.
