Painting the Manufacturer's Badge

Model: Lexus IS MK 3 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Manufacturer emblem

If you want to change the look of your car by replacing the manufacturer's chrome badge and lettering with matte black ones, proceed as follows: 1) mark the position of the rear lettering with masking tape; 2) use a plastic spatula to peel off the rear lettering (it may help to warm it with a hairdryer) and detach the front and rear badges; 3) remove any excess adhesive (both on the bodywork and behind the badges) with silicone remover or acrylic solvent; 4) scuff the surface of the badges with Scotch Brite and clean thoroughly; 5) paint the badges with plastic paint and wait for complete drying; 6) apply double-sided tape behind the badges without exceeding the edges and fix them in position.
