What do you think?
I have a Magnetic Black 2011 Base+Sports. I originally wanted to go with black chrome emblems, but I think the off-black emblems sitting on the deep black paint wouldn't look too hot. So, I was thinking of using a Duplicolor metalcast coating on the oem emblems. I was thinking red metalcast for the hamburgers and 370Z lettering - what say you, internet?
Here's a reference:

I hope mine do, I haven't done them yet. I'm thinking of going red on the black car.

I like the colored lettering. Black letters on red emblem? Vice versa?

Seriously, I still prefer black. But red is an intereting idea might actually go well on the black z. How about gold? Post up some pictures after you done.

Photoshopped some images I had laying around. Not too shabby.

I used this on my stillen gen 3's. purple. You better be a pro because it is a laquer and is incredibly difficult to make it all the same color. One millisecond too long in one area and you get a dark spot. And yes, if you're wondering, my gen 3's do look like I DIY. SO!

I'd leave them. Looks excellent with the letters left black

I dunno makes it look like a clown or rudolph. That is what I see anyways. I say black, black chrome, or leave it chrome. The red looks good on the rear with the tails but no so much the front.
