Black out emblems?

Well, first off my rear badges, "Maxima" "SE" the dark paint is chipping off and it's looking like ***. I either want to debadge or somehow repaint them. On that topic, I was also wondering if there was a way to use a similar paint to do the same to the front and rear hamburger emblems. I wonder what they would look like if they were blacked out instead of shiny chrome.

Any ideas? Repost?

The paint is either black chrome or bronze tinted, I can't remember which one. I bought all two new chrome hamburgers as well as MAXIMA and GLE with my old GLE, spray painted them black, added a coat of clearcoat, and slapped them on. Since the color was pearl, it offset it nicely.

Oh and to answer this... 'I wonder what they would look like if they were blacked out instead of shiny chrome.' They'd look umm black

So if I wanted to fix the chipped badges on my rear, how should I go about doing that?

If they're chipped badly, just remove them, sand and repaint. For a few minor chips, I have just touched them up.

I've thought about it, but I think that would be too much black.
