The service

What is emblem painting?

Emblem painting involves refinishing eligible factory or aftermarket automotive badges and emblems to change their appearance or coordinate them with the vehicle.

It's a small service with an outsized effect — badges and lettering sit in some of the most visible spots on a vehicle, and their finish can tie a whole build together or work against it.

Frequently asked

Emblem painting questions.

Can you paint factory emblems?

Many factory emblems can be refinished after evaluation. The material and condition of the badge determine the right preparation and finish.

Can you color match an emblem?

Yes — emblems can be finished to complement the vehicle's color. The factory paint code is a helpful starting point, though age and exposure can affect the vehicle's current appearance. A perfect match is not guaranteed.

Can you paint letters?

Yes — individual lettering can be evaluated and refinished the same way as badges and emblems.

Can you black out my badges?

Blacking out chrome or bright badges is one of the most common emblem projects. Gloss, satin and matte black options can be discussed during your quote.

Can I provide my own emblem?

Yes. Customer-supplied emblems — factory or aftermarket — are evaluated for material and condition before work is agreed to.

Can you remove and reinstall emblems?

Removal and reinstallation requirements are determined during evaluation and confirmed as part of the project scope. They are not automatically included.

How much does emblem painting cost?

Every emblem and finish is different, so pricing is provided through a quote. Send photos of the badges and describe the look you want, and we'll evaluate the project.
