Has anyone painted their emblem on the back? I am thinking of changing from the chrome to gloss black--any thoughts?

If you mean PORSCHE I assume it will be available in matte black shortly after the GTS goes on sale.

Actually I mean the 718 Boxster chrome logo.

Well, there you go then. Just buy them in gloss black and stick'em on.

Yes I could do that--and probably will--but I was wondering if anyone had DIY painted or Plasti Dip the emblem. What kind of results have people had? Any examples of a finished project?

Plasti Dip would be a safe and easy choice. I've seen examples of friends' chrome emblems to black Plasti Dip. It works well, looks good, and lasts long. There's tons of info and examples on the internet on this stuff. Try it, if you don't like it go the other route.

I found/read this post after I asked my question. This might be a good winter garage project. Then again I might just do as @trusted suggested and order the black gloss lettering from Suncoast and slap it it on.

don't be afraid of trying plastidip. it has a lot going for it.

it's cheap.
it's available at home depot.
easy to apply.
easy to remove.
won't cause any damage or leave a residue.
looks good.
if you screw it up totally just peel and start over.

i did the grille on a '12 fusion i had and it came out great. also did the targa bar on my 83 911 track car for an easy "paint job" and it came out great too.

What's involved in removing/installing these model designations? I'd like to swap-on the bright red "S' from Suncoast, I think it would look nice against Jet Black Metallic paint and pick-up the theme of the red brake calipers. Do they just snap in/out or is glue involved?
