My quandary is whether or not i should have the body shop just paint the emblems magnetic black along with the bumper, or should i see if they can do the hyper black (black pearl) like these ones sold on the z store? I don't want to plastidip them because that is a flat black and would most likely look bad on what is basically a gloss black car.

so, paint emblems magnetic black or hyper black?

Does anyone happen to have an example pic of either of these on a magnetic black z?
I color matched and cleared my emblems. I find they look great color matched, but thats also because I had left over paint/clear from doing my front lip. If I wasn't so tight (cheap) I would buy the z store black pearl emblems. If you can have the paint shop do that same finish, i'd say go for it, best look imo.

(a couple of pics of what mine look like color matched).
