    I'm sure there is a thread on this one some where on TW but I can't find it! I'm looking for someone or someway of blacking out my chrome emblems on my Tacoma. I've seen a bunch of pics here and there and stuff on how to do it but just forgot where I saw it all! I figured TW would be the best way to find out. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Hopefully a step-by-step way to do it would be best. I want to give it a shot this weekend.:D

    Krylon fusion flat black with the Krylon adhesion promoter sprayed first should work very well.

    Make sure you leave lots of drying time when you paint them, I ended up having to redo mine because I got impatient...

    Are you sure about this one dark knight? Sounds right. But it is flat instead of gloss huh?

    You can use either gloss or flat as long as its Krylon Fusion which is formulated to adhere to plastics.

    Well got that krylon gloss black spray paint but couldn't find the adhesion promoter. Just got some primer instead. I think I should be good.:cool:

    I used the krylon flat black with several coats of satin clear coat over that to keep the black looking fresh

    ill be honest with ya i tried it 3 different ways flat, gloss and hammered black finish. needless to say the hammered looked the best. for those of us to pay a lot to small details and like the unique go for the hammered finish
