Can you still get colored emblems?

I hope this is in the right place.

On newer toyota's (especially Camry)...can you still get different colored emblems like on the older ones there were the gold emblems?

if you can, how much does it cost and is there only the choice of gold or they expanded it?

I'm pretty sure that Toyota Manufacturing does not offer these, but rather it was something offered in trim packages by the regional distributors around the country. Southeast Toyota, Gulf States, Toyota, etc. Keeping that in mind, locate Toyota dealers on the web who are located in Washington, California, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, Florida, and Massachusetts. Build a new Camry on each of the sites and see if gold plated emblems are an option. Some distributor might do it and if so they would be cheaper than having them custom manufactured.

Its rather unfortunate that Toyota never offered a legit Black Pearl emblem set for our generation, or if they did, then its super rare. The difference between that finish vs a painted/smoked emblem set is immense

I got the black pearl on mine when I got my 07. It was aftermarket, but dealer installed. They were stupid expensive, but I got a good deal on the car. They were available for a while at around $380.

So...how can I paint an emblem that's silver but I want it to look 'gold' like the Toyota Gold emblems? It's not the toyota logos (it's already gold) but some aftermarket one I bought in a store. (paint ##?)
