Wal-Mart, AutoZone, PepBoys, take your pick on finding the paint.

popped right off my xb
i did this over the weekend and i must say it looks phenomenal..i have a black cherry xB and i did the badges a color a little bit darker and i cant believe the difference it makes..and i did it all for around $13...only think i did different was use the 3M emblem adhesive vs. the double sided tape..highly recommended though for anyone who is looking for cheap yet effective mods..
Here 'tis. My job wasn't too professional, but it looks good from here. Yes, I know it needs a bath. Taillights are going to be smoked out in a week or so. Hopefully... Probably blue overlays on the front.


now i gotta do that with the bB emblems. i came across a thought while crusing around the Toyota lot. i noticed the Camry SE's with the black chrome emblems. and i said DAMN new mod!!! thianks for the write up. once i get a rear bB badge ill be posting pics of the Black chrome badges on BCP
What was used to paint the emblems? Can someone please specify. There is no original tech write up here. I want to do it, but I need to knw the supplies I need. Do I prime it, what kind of paint is needed, do I need to sand the emblems? Someone please help. I know it isn't hard to do, but I don't want to do it wrong and have the paint chipping off the emblem.
