I think you can have your shop just spray it candy, its a transparent black. should work just the same? someone correct me if im wrong. just have the guy tint it to your desired color

I just think it looks tacky for some reason, unless it's the actual BPEs.

I have black pearl emblems, and I have also seen some that are painted. Not sure if its the way the owner painted it, but it looked tacky. If you did paint, try to add a bit of clear/gloss. Any other way would look like a spray paint type of job.
