What color to paint the emblems?

[hamiltonj2w1]

Ok so I am going to bite the bullet I think and paint both Toyota emblems and the 4Runner emblem on the back along with possibly doing my taillights and 3rd brake light with VHT Nightshades.

The problem is what color to paint the emblems? Satin Black, Flat Black, Gloss Black, Grey? I have spent the better part of the day looking at pics and can't decide what color so lets see where this goes.

My vote is Flat black!

I tried the satin black first and found that it didn't match the black plastic trim as well as the flat black. I went with the Krylon Fusion in flat black and that seems to match perfectly too my eyes.

Could i suggest an unlisted color?

My vote is flat RED... I think it will look awesome and mean like red eyes on a black bull.... Just an idea...

The Krylon in the first picture is almost identical to the magnetic gray paint. I think it looks great. I haven't seen the black in person. I might do my roof rack in black, still not sure. I will say, my wife was pissed when I painted some of the chrome but the grey Krylon looks so good she didn't mind it when she saw the emblems back on the truck.

Hope this helps.

I think Red would look good on a black 4runner like jesse1983's 4runner but with gray I think I might go with the flat black. I saw that gray matched really well in another thread member shorerunner did that same color it looked really good to. There is always that black chrome color to????

Yeah I was surprised at how closely it matched the mag gray...

and a muddy one for fun...
