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

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.

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