Black Chromed Accents and Emblems for SWP - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm thinking about making the chrome accents and the SUBARU and BRZ emblems in the back, black chrome for my SWP BRZ. I've been looking at using Dupli-color: Shadow. Anyone else have any suggestions or opinions? Thanks!

I think it's a good idea, Post pictures if you decide to do it, i think it should turn out pretty BA

Something along the lines of these, may be just a little bit lighter =] If I had some photoshop editing skills I'd try and make a render.

I posted in the Club Lexus thread (same user name) a long time ago when I had my Es300.

I have used the duplicolor smoke chrome paint on my chrome Lexus emblems. It is basically a charcoal color mixed with clear - heavy coats will just make the emblem look like a dark charcoal color. My emblems lasted for a few months before they started to crack and chip off.

The OEM black chrome plated emblems have a different, more noticeable appearance - much more reflective, like crystal.

I don't think these emblems are available in black chrome - so if you care about a high quality, legitimate black chrome plated emblem, there are a few shops in SoCal that will black chrome plate the emblems for you.

Here's a shop I found w/ approximate price lists. Looks like it will cost about $50-100

That shop does chrome plating for metal. Its a different process for these plastic emblems. Its just a reflective coating that is not applied like real chrome. Someone here did Black Chrome Emblems...can't remember who though.

Edit: Found the PM.. @20valvewynn83 had his done. You can PM him about it or see his thread. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16714
