Default Black Pearl badging kit

Has anyone purchased this from Sewell? Is there better means to achieve the same results? Seems like a lot of coin for some plastic badging.

Well, This might be a great way to do a black out look but the real way to do this is to go to your auto shop and buy a product from duplicolor called Shadow. This is the real Black chrome you want. This is if you wan to keep the theme of black chrome. The plastidip looks like flat black not shinny black chrome.

or paint it black with a clearcoat to give it a glossy black.

This. Kinda crazy to spend all that coin on emblems.

The plasti dip is awesome if you want the flat black look. Super easy to do!

You could Dip, then add the duplicator shadow! You'd never need to take the emblem off either!
