I can do this, I'll be debadging mine this weekend and I'll paint my letters and fuji symbol and post pics. afterwards if you like what it looks like I'll take orders. After I get the letters perfected and know that I'll have orders I'll practice on my grill and post pics of that as well.

^thanks for chiming in =)
Yeah to get your chrome done in the proceedure above isnt a joke they charge some serious coin not to mention you have to strip the emblems of the tape first then take care of your chroming. THEN re-install the tape and reinstall the emblems back into their template for easy install.
Like I said the paint isnt just simple black paint to paint over.. it was a greenish looking paint and he had his own little trick of doing it.. what was it i dont know.

I've sold several sets of black chrome JDM emblems and they were expensive. A set of all three emblems cost me $170+ and I got better pricing by sending 50 or so emblems at one time.

before I sent off my emblem to get black chromed, I painted my rear emblem gloss black, just like my grill, and it looked pretty good. That is, until I received the black chrome
