Default Emblem painting...I see a lot of inquires so I figured I would share...

I found a great shop that works mostly on German cars especially Porsches in Northern NJ. I was looking around for a way to paint my rear emblems on my Cayenne GTS for a few weeks now and I did a lot of research. While doing the research a came across Bergen Imports which is right down the road from where I live in Northern NJ and they informed me that they paint emblems for Porsches a lot. SO, I went with them and below is the finished product...if you are interested give them a call. They are in Cliffside Park NJ right outside NYC.

I'd leave the "S" black. You can buy a red one at Pep Boys...and too many Honda guys have!

I've had it on my tailpipe shrouds for about 8 months now and it still looks like the day I sprayed then.

Now if I every actually washed my cars and got too aggressive cleaning them, that might be a different story

I think it does pretty well in 'no-contact' areas.......but if I truly wanted something that I did not have to think about again....plastidip is definitely not the answer. As for an emblem, I would imagine it would last quite a while.......I suspect it would even hold up to a brushless car wash.

Isn't it a Cayenne GT "S" though so the red "S" works and this isn't comparable to what the "Honda" guys do because different level of cars. To each their own I guess. I think it stands out better with the red.
