Dark Chrome Badges

**Pepe** · 27-10-2010, 08:16 PM

I've been thinking for a while about darkening my badges, the rest of the car is so dark, the bright chrome badges almost seem out of place...

So, with extremely poor photoshop skills, I've mocked up this...

Thoughts people?

Why not just pop it out and hit it with a can of black spray paint?

I did mine with plasti-dip so it can be reversed.

Thought about black, but not my cup of tea, a bit too boy racer.. plus, just black would look weird, like something was missing.

So, dark chrome it is... just gotta figure out how the hell to do it in real life lol

I've been looking for something like this also. I've done a few searches for "Black Chrome" but nmothing as of yet. Be very keen to hear if or when anyone has solved this desire.

I have a possible way of doing it, and when I finish the fitment of my RVC, I'll have a spare rear badge to try it out on too... so I'll give it a shot and post results.
