People have painted their emblems, I remember seeing a dark green max with black emblems. It was unique, and looked pretty good I thought.

I just masked off the front end of my car cuz I didn't have any adhesive to reapply the emblems. JUst amke sure you THOROUGHLY mask overything else off. try to get tape edges under the emblem.

My friend sprayed his Altimas emblems (and door handles) because they were that ugly gold color (why do people make their emblems gold in the first place?) and he didnt mask it off correctly - and now his door and trunk have a small layer of spray-paint on it. His emblems and door handles are now chipping. If you do paint the emblems, be sure to prep them, and then apply layers of thin coats. If you paint it ON the car, be sure to mask the surrounding aeras and use newspaper or paper bag around the aera you are painting so that paint does not go anywhere near the rest of the car.
