Help: black pearl badges
 

I have a set of black pearl badges that I bought from the z store and want some other parts done in the same color. Does anyone know how to achieve this color. I called the z store and was told that they get them from a place called encore auto parts but I can't find anything on them. The z store also didn't have a phone number for them. I've been to paint, chrome, and anodize shops and no one could figure it out.

Dupli-color Shadow? :icon17: I have no idea. Proper black chrome is done with a chemical bath. But I think that only works on metallic items, and I believe the badges and emblems on the Z are plastic.

The dupli color one only works with parts already chromed. If you do it on plastic it wont have that glossy black chrome-like look.

Email this guy and he will be able to help you out. raulgcustom@gmail.com

My understanding is it is just a tinted clear coat. I wonder if it would work on the plastic Nissan hamburger emblems, which have a chrome finish...

If the badging is just painted plastic then anything I want to make "black pearl" I would just have to paint chrome first?

Jar that's what I bought and am trying to match.

Do you have a picture of the painted items you already have?

Is he a vendor? Or just your friend or something?

He's a friend that does good work.

He offered a few months ago to do mine on the Z. I decided it would be too much of a headache to get every silver piece done and did not do the hamburger. He can do it though.

Realale I sent him a copy of my post in a email and tried to explain it to him better but his response was to ask me if I had a paint code. Can you help a little more.

He did mine for me, just got them back today.

Sick!

Hmm. He should know what you want. Maybe he got the pearl confused. He does all different cars. The post by Mitco39 is what he can do. Just tell him you want the black chrome.
