- - Emblem Spraying (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-2nd-gen-1998-2005/446569-emblem-spraying.html)

I was gonna just bite the bullet and get the whole black pearl emblem set from carson for $270.

I have the silver set and wanted to keep the middle "L" in chrome and get the "Lexus" and the "GS 300" in black pearl. I kind of want that two toned look since I have the silver "L" in the black chrome anniversay grille in the front.

It just sucks that I would have to buy the whole set for just the "Lexus" and the "GS 300" emblems in black pearl.

Anyone have experience painting or spray painting the chrome emblems? I have the silver emblems in perfect condition. And to reattach, could I just use 3M double sided tape?

Thanks guys,

Chris

As far as adhesive, you could use 3M but I would recommend emblem adhesive. It works good and is a clear glue rather than tape so that it sits more flush.

Yea I did a search and didn't find too many write ups with pics. I'm looking at autopia and a couple other car forums for official write ups.

I would get the black pearl, but I might as well give this a try. I'm debating on the type of paint to use.

A couple links if anyone is also interested.

I just wanted to get some actual feedback from CL members on any of these methods that works best for our emblems.

I was wrong, it was from gold to chrome. I'm sure once you get it to where it's chrome you can probably spray it with like a gunmetal color then use a clearcoat. Here's the thread.
