Painted/Color TOYOTA emblems

Just ordered my second emblem. The larger white TOYOTA emblem with black trim.

This is the emblem "not my truck"

I was going to try and paint the white part Pyrite Mica to match my truck color and the black trim paint white so it has somewhat of an outline. Has anyone tried painting them different colors? Got any pics?

 

Id like to see some color matched ones if people have done that?

 

Looks good how much are those ?

 

Expensive. I think I paid like $80 if I recall.

 

I paid about 40 bucks....

 

Ya i did it, MGM.

Please ignore the shitty paint job on the grill, first colormatch attempt ever

 

where?? I have seen $140..$150..

 

There's two different ones. Ones about $40 & ones about $70. Mine is larger & has bolt tabs for mounting.

 

Nice touch!

 

Was it easy to mask off for the white? That looks like it would be the hardest part.

 

Not really hard, just very tedious. Get a few nice sharp razor blades, get comfortable and grab a couple beers lol. I masked it twice, once for the MGM, and once for the white. I left the space in between the letters black. I think a guy who goes by capecodder did it also but he cut all the letters out and attatched them to the grill individually, looks badass.

 

Kept my background black, but color matched the letters Desert Sand Mica. Dirty, big time, but I'm happy with it. Added the vintage 4WD emblem bought over ebay.

 

Yeah thats what I was gonna try. But I think I def need the outline to be white to make it pop out on the black grill. I have see his before but that just looks like too much work haha.
