Gen6 Finally got my emblems / badges painted to black. 56K BEWARE!

Sprint finally come, nicer weather outside compare to few weeks ago.. spent some time on painting my emblems to black.. Here are some pictures.
Front emblem base color is a bit off compare with the color of my car, but I think i can live with it.
EDIT: Special thanks to my high school buddy who work for Nissan body shop, he did the paint job for me for free!~
I was going to buy some spray paint and just paint it, but he stop me and told me that won't look good.

Looks good. the red on the front emblem really hurts though. Did you pick up import red at autozone? should have tried the dealer for a color match to barcelona red.
