I want to get a black bowtie emblem. I've heard of people painting them, getting new ones, or stickers. What should i do??

There are a couple options I know of. First, I had mine covered in red vinyl by the local pin stripe shop. It looks fantastic. I have also seen one that was sprayed with the spray in bed liner material. It looked great, and virtually indestructible. Those are two options I have personal knowledge of, however I am sure there are others available. I'm sure somone else will offer some opinions. Good luck with it.

i painted my front and back emblem red it was easy, first i sanded them with 600 grit wet and dry sandpaper to take off the shine, taped them off and used krylon, fysion plastic spray paint, many light coats. then finished with several light coats of clear coat, looks great. also check out this site- webxtremes.com

How would a black emblem look on a carbon colored truck? The dealership that I bought the truck from said it was carbon colored. It means that it is black in low light conditions and darker green in bight conditions.
