Looking for black V8 KOMPRESSOR emblems

Curious if they are available and from what source Ebay only list chrome units and I am trying to stay away from chrome on this kind of car.
thanks

Thanks, but I'm well versed on painting-2 stage, 3, etc.
Problem is, see how many of those little boogers you see on the side of the fender? Each separate. Each requiring mounting tape after removal. Each takes 10 minutes to do properly.
Just looking to save time.

yeah - a lot of detail -- tedious job--- the only reason I have not done it -- maybe later down the road - I will just shell out some cash and have someone do them all

I did the rears today. Metallic Black with 3 coats of clear. Going to replace the center star with something else though.
Just need to find the 5 hours to do the sides

Geeh !!! that is a lot of effort... but it is a simple job -- maybe i will do mine later --- feels great doing work on your own car.
