Check the Tech Section, there's a write up for painting interior pieces.

So both the front and rear "Scion" emblems are stuck on with adhesive? No posts or clips or anything? I know the "tC" emblem is adhered to the body.

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

waxed dental floss is easier.
no heat.

popped right off my xb
dental floss is no good. got the front of mine off fine, but the rear cracked in two with the floss. NO GOOD!!

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.

This is great! I plan on throwing gunmetal/dark metal wheels on my car, I may paint the Scion emblem to complement them. Thanks!

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.
