all the ricers here in town paint their emblems but they always do ugly *** colors, orange on red, yellow on white, Ive seen that black on black and it looks sick but i dont even think you need to do any sanding before or any of that, just prime it paint it and get that orange peel feel off

I just did it today and it really makes the back look sleek.

Oh believe me, I'm as proud as anyone to rock the Honda, that's why I didn't just take it off.

Pics are on their way guys, I'm working on it... not much time when you're a busy college student.

I'm just going to have to do that myself this weekend. You think black badges on white will look good?

When I painted my calipers with "caliper paint" I had left over paint. So I painted my raised "H" on my valve cover and emblems. So now my emblems , calipers and valve cover "H" are all identical colors. Came out better then I hoped for, which I always hope for the best!

Anyhow, I did take off the emblems before painting and wiped them down with a light coat of alcohol, let dry then paint.

I'll post some pics later.

By the way I used Brake Caliper Paint System Set G2 Kit found on eBay. I like the brush on technique for the calipers versus the spray. I've done both, and hands down the brush system is better!

I'd imagine so. I like the way black rims look on a white car so I don't see why not.
