Default Black Pearl "Aristo" Emblem help

Hi all,

I am thinking about getting a set of black pearl emblem set for my 2001 black GS. Anyone knows where I can have my chrome "ARISTO" emblem redo to match the set. Or place I can buy black pearl Aristo emblem. Thanks,

indypwr: what kind of paint did you use? Mind sharing the brand, color and where you get the paint from? I have the Aristo Emblem. I want to painted black pearl to match my other emblems before i stick it on the car.

Thanks

I was wondering about the look with the black emblem on black car, but the other day I saw a black SC had it and its not bad at all. after all the black pearl finish is different than the black car and its 3-D instead of sticker. Just my thought....
