Default Badge painting

Soooo, I took the Civic and EX badges off my car the day I bought it. I was wondering if anyone has painted the H? My car's black and I want to paint it black so it's still there (I loooove my honda) but I don't really want it to stick out as much as it does. It's a 99 coupe if that helps you get a picture. Just let me know what you think. Also should I use the same technique as painting interior parts in the sticky? Any suggestions on paint?

They're definitely plastic, I actually broke on once.

I'm going home this weekend to install a ton of stuff so I'll prolly paint them this weekend then I'll steal a digi and take some pics.

Get this, I saw a black EX coupe, 99-00 today that had the badge painted black! Someone call the police, they stole my idea. Anyways, it looked good so I'll be doing it sometime soon. They did a horrable job taking off the "Civic" and "EX" badges though, it's still covered in glue.

I saw that this morning! It had Florida plates, right? Or is there another one out there!?

Pretty sure it's the same one... there was still glue from where "civic" and "ex" were when I saw it. I had some kind of rims too... didn't get a good look though.
