Paint emblem
I tried painting my emblems. Same thing, black on my black 2k GLE. They looked good for a few months, but then the paint starting peeling off. It's really a ***** because if you want to take the emblems off you lose the tape they use to put them on so you either have to buy new emblems or more tape (which looks tacky). The best way to paint them is remove them, primer, paint, them clear coat. But still you gotta figure out how you want to reapply them. Maybe some glue? I used a couple dabs of super glue to put them back on.
