    I painted mine with satin black spray paint. It's held up to pressure cleaners, mud, road grime and more. Like you said, the emblem comes off in a minute, so if it ever begins to look crappy, pop it off, sand it, and repaint.

    I'd probably go with matte black or PD'd over the 'missing' look. I've got an extra emblem that I'm thinking of doing this to:

    I know you ended up plastidipping the emblem but FYI you cannot powdercoat plastic.
