does any1 know of a website that makes black emblems for benz. i painted the ones on the car but after a year they r chipping

Esh

I don't think anyone makes them. Everyone paints them. Run a search for "black emblems" and maybe you can figure out what kind of paint or process they use.

You need to remove the chrome paint for the emblems first with sand paper, 600 first, 1200 to polish, paint them black & cover with clear coat & they don't chipp anymore

I used a piece of tint film I had. No chipping, no paint, no sanding

Cool! you put tint paper in the hood grille & side mirrors too? pretty nice take some close pics to the emblem & details! the don't start to crunch or peel with the sun??

For the side mirrors I used VHT tint spray, and the hood grille I painted it gloss black. I also used the tint spray on my rear emblem and it gave it a black chrome look that came out nice.

No problems with the sun. Here is a pic of when I just finished it. It had a little bubble in it that worked itself out with the sun.

Pretty cool bro! good think with the VHT for the emblems, its true, that way you get a chrome black! nice & congrats

I've been wanting to tint my emblems as well, how hard is it to do?

dynomite05

Not hard at all, only took a few minutes. Just have to have a heat gun or blow dryer.

Did you leave them emblems on the car?

I took them off. I even ordered an extra rear emblem just in case I broke it taking it off
