Buy new emblems!
I ordered all new chrome emblems from these guys down in Dallas and they look FANTASTIC! The local dealership only had gold. If you're going to do something, particularly for looks, do it right and get actual chrome emblems.

Please tell me you aren't going to use GLUE! Get yourself some 3M mounting tape. It is greyish with red backing you peel off and very sticky. I had a hard time getting it at hardware stores, but I found it at an arts and crafts store right next to the "Goo-Gone" which you will also need to remove all the residue without ruining your paint. In my opinion the only color you could paint the emblems that will look decent is black. Painting it "chrome" will look awful. Get some real chrome emblems and please don't glue them on.
