Black Chrome CTS emblem

JohnRL · #1 (**permalink**) 10-26-07, 11:35 AM

I was reading some threads on emblems and one of them mentioned he thought he would have his CTS emblem on the trunk black chromed.

I am assuming the CTS logo is plastic not metal. Is that correct?

How does one "black chrome" the CTS emblem?

I have the black pearl badges - $500 option. The badges on Ebay are not even close.

rblimas - the link you included was for bright chrome - I was asking about black chrome

I could not find any black chrome referenced on eBay

Anyone?

I've seen black pearl ESV emblems, but never a CTS one.

look up on the net something called "vaccum metalizing"
there are many shops that do it. You want the black chrom or black peral finish on yours, email a company, get a quote, mail in your emblems and then get em back and viola! you now have black chomes.
spiffy
