Looking for some matte badging

Looking for somewhere to get matte black badging for the car. I am looking to do the V8 Kompressor(2) and the CLS55, MB star, and the AMG lettering.

Thus far all I can find is the AMG logo in matte. Does anyone know where I can find these pieces.

TIA

CLS55, a rare R-class

If you are already planning to take them off and put them back on by yourself, you should just plastidip them. Go get a spray can, or a bucket of paint, and do it yourself. Put on as many coats as you want. Cheapest mod!

However, I'm really looking for a more permanent solution. I feel like I will have to very delicate when cleaning the car to avoid peeling the coating. It doesn't seem like a durable option.

Isn't there anyone who sells matte versions of these badges?

CLS55

Buddy of mine used plastidip on the roof rails of his NL5t5 and hasn't had chipping. Highly recommends the stuff. Just make sure you do it right. Don't spray right on top of chrome plastic finish. I'd sand it down a bit.

I bought all new ones off ebay. They were cheap looking but the same size. Once painted black, they look exactly like factory quality but black. I did my trim along the trunk and around the windows as well. It looked great.

Anyway, I am going to try to plastidip the badges while on the vehicle and vinyl wrap the window trim. The grill and trunk trim ( if removable) will be sprayed by a body shop.
