Painting chrome emblems?

[JFD27]

I painted my front grill on my camry a satin black with the krylon plastic fusion paint and i must say it came really well so i want to continue and paint all the rest of the chrome pieces on my car the same black (the pieces that run parallel with the windows, the toyota emblem on the back, and the chrome piece right above the license plate. Ive seen it done on here and i want to know the best way to go about doing this? The grill was easy as it simply just screwed on, but the rest of these pieces do not just "bolt on" so is there a way to take them off? or should i just tape and newspaper everything off and try and paint them while they still remain on the car?

This has been talked about numerous times, if you're talking about emblems like "CAMRY" or "SE" or w/e, you can use tooth flossing to remove it and then clean it all up then paint it and then use 3M tape to put it back on.

Also I don't recommend painting the emblems while they are on the car, lol..it will take forever to cover everything up plus you might just accidentally paint the car

No im not talking about debadging it. ive already done that, im talking about the chrome piece directly above the license plate, the toyota symbol that cannot be debaged from the rear of the car and the chrome pieces that run parallel with side windows. anybody know how to remove these pieces so they can be painted?

Yeah that's what I meant the chrome pieces that are within the red circle


Use tooth flossing to remove them..it's pretty easy at least I know for the TOYOTA emblem and SE or LE, I'm sure it's the same for the badge and the chrome piece above the license plate, but I could be wrong about the chrome piece, it could be bolted on to the trunk..never dealt with that on a G5.

You're welcome, um I have no clue, never took those down..and never really heard of anyone taking those down and painting them..but I'm pretty sure they're stick on to the windows. You mean the chrome that goes around the windows on the side doors?
