    Yes.
    This has been discussed several times, in reference to painting badges.

    They are available in X-Runner colors: Black (or BSP), Red and SWB. They would have any badges available on the X-R.

    I am going to the dealership this weekend to look for some black ones for mine... I have spent several evenings sanding and preparing my badges, painted them with several coats of semi flat black paint then clear coat and even after I let them cure long enough to touch, I put them on the truck and they chip so easily and I am tired of re sanding the badges. My front emblem is the only part that came out fairly well...

    Do it. I think the black overfenders and black wheels look good. And I agree, if you like it get it powdercoated, but since you want an idea of what it looks like, just plastidip it for now!
